...getting compliments on my hair, lol. It always seems to be when I haven't fixed it either. I think it's misdirected. I think people notice that I look a little different, can't put their finger on why and assume it my hair. Just thought I'd share...kinda funny. Anyone else experiencing anything like this?

I have experienced that in the beginning, but I do feel a difference in my hair almost like the texture is a bit different. I have also experienced Hair loss, which i read up that thats normal the first year. So maybe the thinning is making my hair better? LOL who knew :)

I had a Chinese woman who kept asking me if I had cut my hair. Took her 6 months to decide I had lost weight! LOL I think she was afraid to offend me!

I think people don't want to come of rude by asking if a person has lost weight so they acknowledge the change with a different complement , just my thought on it :)

Agree! No one said a word to me until I had lost 50lbs. I figure they didn't comment when I gained the weight, so I shouldn't expect them to comment when I was losing. Lol

People can't figure out weight loss cause they are used to seeing you at the old weight. They have asked me did i change mu hair, makeup or glasses!!

I find the opposite. People flat out comment about my weight loss. I am not offended because I don't think they mean any harm.

      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. 🤞
