I was thinking about having a tattoo made in the lower back area. Do you think I better wait until the weight is completely down or I could do it right now ? I started at 290 pounds and is now 230 going for 180...

I have a tattoo on my ankle and it doesn't matter about weight there - lol. I know that this is a tattoo posting - but, I didn't realize Carolinagirl that you haven't had any fills. That's really great - I didn't realize that before. I usually post on my i-phone, but I got onto the site at work and on the iphone app it doesn't give all of the information.

I have three. One on my foot, no probs there LOL. One on my shoulder, also fine. I just got an under-boob tattoo that says "No Day But Today" that I LOVE over my scar and so far so good. When I get my tummytuck hopefully someday I"m worried it will get jacked up but then I'll have to either do a cover or fix it somehow LOL.

If you have alot of lower body fat or are planning on any future cosmetic surgery I would wait. Just as a precaution. Skin elasticity, stretching and/or removal will effect the result of the tatoo.

I have one on my upper right shoulder where I never had much fat so there's no difference after the wl. So it just depends on the location?!?!?!

PS What are you getting :D

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
