Fishing for compliments.

In normal life it's frowned upon as if proof of a character defect,

however

I think our population could use the confidence boost in a safe environment. Some days I need it more than protein...

If you need it too, feel free to share your selfies or stories and feel the love pour in...

Y’all. From carrying my own extended to this.

Even used my tray table.

Fracking amazing!

At first, I couldn't see the changes when looking in the mirror but after finding this old picture of me at my very heaviest, I can definitely see a change!

Wow! You look 10 years younger!

What I am really enjoying, even beyond the obvious weight loss inspiration, is seeing that none of you appear bald! It is calming my anxiety about just how much hair loss I can expect. Thinner I can handle, needing a full wig I can't.

I'm terrified. Being militant about my protein and vitamins. I have super fine, thin hair to begin with. I can't afford to lose much of ANY without needing a wig! Seriously...my ponytail is like the diameter of between a dime and a nickel size. I just have to remember even if I lose a ton, this will have been worth it!

Well at this point I myself am not Fishing for Compliments, merely Hunting for Hope. Fix my stomal stricture, open operation if necessary, just repair me so I can be like other RnY veterans, brighten up my days and I will renew my Compliment Fishing License for the rest of my lifetime, And that is an iron-clad promise!**!

Honestly, it was bad, but not that bad. Look at my pictures above, I still have hair!

Wow, Matt. You look dangerously handsome. And I like your long hair, too.

Do men lose their hair the same way some women do after a bypass? (Not a question that pertains to your appearance, btw.)

Pre-op to 11 months post-op. Best thing I ever did for myself!!!!

Men and Women can have the same hair issues, just guys don't notice it as often since we typically have shorter hair. I personally didn't notice any losses or thinning. Not sure why exactly, but, not going to complain about not having an issue LOL.

Thanks!
