Mine didn't stretch but we're still on hanging skin. I had skin removed and got tattoos cut in half in the process!! lol I'm still in coverup mode. It's going to take many sessions but will be beautiful in the end ;)

I'm interested in this too. I have one on each shoulder. One on each shoulder blade. A large one on my left leg. I've been holding off on getting my next one until I enter maintenance phase. I'm planning on getting a peacock on right calve.

For me, the 2 i have i thought about where to put them for a long time. ONE in the middle of my back, and one on my wrist, there won't be any changes....

I lost 100lbs a couple of years ago and I have 16 tattoos. I was careful to not get any in places where the sagging skin may need to be cut away (i.e. Inside of upper arm, inner thigh, abdomen)
I had quite a bit of loose skin and I found that my tattoos just moved a little. So one on my upper arm just wrapped around my arm more but not quite enough to be in the saggy area.
Of course I gained that 100 back and then quite a bit more but at least I know where to hold off getting them for now. I get sleeved in a month.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
