Dis anyone have tattoos before surgery? How did they look after? I have a tattoo I want to get but I'm not sure if I should wait until after surgery and if so how far out should I wait? I want to get on my upper back/Lower neck area. My mom says I should wait until I hit goal or close to it. Any thoughts?

I agree with @@Recycled or at least make it one of your "goal" markers! When you reach that # you want to reach 25, 50, 75 what ever that number is for you then make that your goal reward and go get that TaT!

I have several including one on my back but more on my shoulder blade then upper neck area and it's looking just fine :)

I plan on getting one but closer to my ideal weight. I dont want weight loss to affect positioning or how it looks, etc.

The goal markers idea is awesome!!

That's great idea to use it as a reward to myself!! It might even help motivate me more to reach my goal faster!!!!

I have a tattoo in that spot. I'd be really surprised if it gets distorted. But I do agree with your mom. You may feel completely different about it a few pounds down. Best of luck. (Also, I have many tattoos, and the one in that area really hurt!)

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
