It looks great!!

See my problem is the opposite. I have ALWAYS had short hair (My dad refused to let me cut my hair so when I hit 18 it went from waist to ears in one snip!!)

Now its between my shoulders and bra strap. I am hating it but I promised the hubby I would give growing it out a go. So I am. It has long layers in it so it doesn't sit so heavy on my neck but it still doesn't help. I want to cut it off so bad I hate long hair on me.

If you are going to get more than 10" cut from your hair, consider donating it to locks of love, or the panteen program. (they make wigs for cancer patients) It might help you feel better about your new style if you know that you have helped somene else.

I love shorter hair .. wash dry and go .... long hair is a pain in the ass to deal with takes for ever to dry and get looking good so its not all frizzy and stuff.

Yeah I have curly hair its a PITA .. I have to spend an hour drying and straightening it. No thankee spankee .. the fact I am doing this for my hubby is the ONLY reason I have not cut it.

I am the opposite of all you other long, naturally curly haired people. I had my hair short a few years ago after having it long for a while and found it much more toublesome short than long. With it long, I wash, put in anti-frizz stuff, let it air dry while I put on my make up and do the rest of my morning routine, then add a little finishing gel and go. With it short, I had to put in straightener, blow dry the curl out, spray and style. The whole routine added a good 30 minutes to my morning! So, I let it grow again after about 6 months of this.

When I decided to go short, I worked with my hairdresser and did it in stages as was suggested. I do think it would have freaked me out to go from mid back to ear length at one time. That's a lot of hair!!!

      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. 🤞
