Tattooed Bandsters??



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! So I have a fairly large lower back tattoo, that actually takes up most of the bottom half of my back, I call it my glorified tramp stamp, haha, I have another on my left foot. I was just wondering, since I got my tattoo almost 2 years ago, when I was baisically the same weight I am now, if tattoos shift around or change size, color darkness/lightness, or anything else that would make it look at all different with weight loss?? I would appreciate any feedback, post a pic if you can!

:scared2:

I have one on my upper arm, very close to my shoulder. It's not changing.

I have one on my hip that is small and will be removed with a my Tummy Tuck, lower body lift.

But I'm going to guess that because you are young and you are just at 100 pounds to lose you might do fairly well with your tat not getting messed up...what's your shape? Are you an apple, pear or hour glass? I suppose what I'm asking is where do you carry your weight?

Maybe someone can tell you more..

My tramp stamp looks pretty well exactly the same as it did when I got it.

I will try to dig up a few photos of it before and now if I can.

I have three tattoos- one on the back of my neck, one on my shoulder and a lower back tattoo too, but I got them all like 10 years ago when I was 16 and a size 11/12. Anyways, since gaining weight the lower back one has changed shape a little but not much. I only hope it doesnt get worse once I am banded and start losing.

I have lost just about 80lbs and I get tons of compliments on how it looks, no changes at all.

I have one on my ankle and have had it for 13 years....I have lost/gained 100lbs and no changes, but my ankles don't really change in size.

I do have a friend who had a frog around her belly button and after pregnancy it stretched out and the excess skin made it look really funny.

Haha I'm probably an apple, short and round, although I could also be an hourglass, maybe not with the tiny waist but whatever... lol. I think I would rather have a healthy body than a tattoo only me and a small handful of people ever see anyways lol. I do love it though, so I'm hoping it will stay the same. Thanks for all the comments!

      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!
