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.

Sorry for my multiple replies. The site and app were timing out and saying it didn't post. ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1486836424.927737.jpg ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1486836551.235391.jpg
Here are before/after of my tattoos. My artist even completely camouflaged one of my scars!! Can't wait to finish it!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
