This Is Who People Magazine Should Put On Their WL Cover

A young man with more courage then most, including myself at his age. Is there such a thing as a WLS Hero? For me, there is now. 

Find him on Facebook and elsewhere on the 'net. Let him now he is awesome.

He did the video to get attention for his efforts to get people to give him money for plastic surgery.  You know, the same plastic surgeries that so many of the rest of us scrimped, saved, and/or took out loans to be able to afford....

That hardly makes him a hero in my book!

Exactly. Many if us here share our stories to actually help others but did not expect money.

I guess I did this all wrong, dammit!! 

I can't stand this constant begging that happens now.  Gofundme is great for some situations.  I've contributed who have undergone catastrophic situations, like a child stricken with cancer or a house that burns down.  I would never give money to someone who wants plastics after WLS.  

I want to replace my old Yamaha with a new Harley.  I guess I'll start my own gofundme!

 Maybe I'll start up a gofundme for a new kitchen

BILL-when you get that Hog..gimme a holler...I'll FUND the gas, and we can ride, by the beach, with MY skin flapping, because I REFUSE to beg for $$$, and haven't been able to save enough......yet

Road trip!  

Yes you did

And now people will probably give him the money.

yes but he is a young man and was a teen when he chose to have surgery, and obviously emotionally overwhelemed. if he wants to ask for money and people want to give it i see no reason to resent him for it because others "scrimp and save." any of us are free to do the same on the web for whatever reason we want. if people give, they give.  and his steps, at least for him, are bold. i think he is a good example for WLS for young people, and its effectiveness
