jullee, i have two tattoos. fortunately, there both in places (upper back and inside right ankle) that they shouldn't really be bothered too much by my weight loss. I did, however, have a very close friend of mine that lost weight and it had an impact on her tattoo. it was a tribal tattoo on her lower back. it didn't look awful or anything you could just tell that it had shrunk a little. i'm sure that there are tattoo artists that could touch up or refigure any tattoo that doesn't suit you. it's pretty amazing what they can do now a days. but anyway, good luck with your surgery.

This is something I've been wondering...seeing as I have three tattoos. Two of them are on my chest, and the third is on the top of my foot. Thanks for the imput!

I have about 30 tattoos (have not counted in a while) and they look okay. I have lost a bunch of weight and had plastic surgery and they still look good. The only ones that have a difference at this point are the ones on my back. They have come in a bit due to me losing a number inches in my sholders.

I will be having the skin under my arms removed and tightened at some point this year and that will change the ones on my upper arms. I too think it's all about location.

I saw a young gal at the gym with a large and bright sun tat that radiated out from her belly button. I chuckled under my breath at what is going to happen to it during a pregnancy, if she should ever decide to become a parent. :biggrin1:

I am covered with huge tattoos, you can see them on my myspace page. They have held up just fine. My tattoos are on my neck, arms, back, between my shoulder blades and on my legs and feet. They all look fine, just a bit bigger now. Think about it like this, a postage stamp on a poster board, compared to the same stamp on a recipie card. I have gone from a size 24 to a size 11jr so I think I am qualified to answer. I want to get a few more tattoos but I am waiting until after I've had my lower body lift. I want one on my lower back and something around my bellybutton. I'm done having kids and now that I am thin I want to get the work done. I have my band date on my back under a flaming lotus, I love it. ~Mandy

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
