I didnd't think about that but I like the idea of getting one to mark the transition to a new life. My hubby wants me to get what I call a "bra topper" on my chest. I was thinking about a butterfly with flowers to show transformation and beauty.

Maybe you could do a wrap around vine of flowers with butterflies over the scars and stretch marks.< /p>

I want a butterfly too lol I want it on my back with the surgery date under. I also want a lil tattoo on the side of my index finger of just the #'s "389" my highest weight facing me not on the side towards my middle finger. I will always see it... Constant reminder!

I'm removing mine or idk what I want to do. I regret it but I love it and hate it. No more tattoo for me :(

I have no tattoos... But I wonder if it would hurt more without so much fat under the skin? I know that my loose skin, ESP on the arms, is much less pain tolerant than it used to be.

I already have 2 but I want another one. My niece wants me to go with her when she turns 18 to get her first, so I am getting one too. I thought of just the words " Be Strong" on my foot or wrist.

Tattoos are all about your own pain tolerance and your ability to put your mind in a different place while getting one! I have a bunch and love the process.. From drawing it up to the application. They don't hurt that bad :)

I like the ribbons:) I've also seen back pieces that look like awesome corsets....they cover just about everything! There is a picture somewhere of a lady who got a total lower so had scars all around...she did the vine and flowers and it looks great! I like Jenny's idea of the finger number.I was thinking about putting the amount I lose in the tail of peacock - it's a vanity thing :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
