This is me before and after. I had surgery last December and am doing really good now. Go see my page to see how it all started for me. I could not find a good pic of me before because I hated the way i looked. Now I love my body and love taking photos with my family. I am a shorty I am 5'2" and my starting weight was 230's and now weigh 135. I wear a small to medium in tops and a nine in pants. It's nice to be able to buy clothes in any store I want and feel comfortable with my body. Inbox me any questions you have because I know I had lots of questions when I started.

They just got smaller and darker in color. I think they look better now than before. I was worried about them to before the weight loss. They are on my shoulders, forearms, wrist, and my chest. And thank you.

You look great!

I also have tats. I, too, was wondering how or if they changed any.

Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life!

I replied above before I read your post. I forgot to say I think if you have any tatts on stretch marks they might look different but the locations of mine didn't have any stretch marks. But my tatts did really well in the weight loss.

You look great, keep up the good work.

Never ever be ashamed of your self unless you intentionaly hurt others.
