Agreed that Jelly Roll needs WLS (and, IMHO, those tats removed from his head ).
I also always thought multi-string genius David Lindley could benefit from WLS, but apparently he never had it done. He passed away last year (IIRC) due to Coronavirus.
Always wondered if his weight was significantly down if he would have beat it.
Frank talk about the DS / "All I ever wanted to be was thin, like that Rolling Stones dude ... "

I agree with Jelly Roll. Weight is a hard topic to approach. At my highest point, I didn't want to hear anything.
I never spoke w him about WLS. But I WILL w other frenz ( like Fat Joe)
Musical community s pretty small. We all no each other. Jelly roll needs help. Seriously.
TY Kathleen.
Love is so hard sometimes.
I jes wish I could have loved him HARDER if that makes ANY sense at all.
I'm sorry for the loss of your close friend. It's heartbreaking.
The best way to honor him is to keep focusing on your weight loss journey
He was a musical genius and a wonderful loyal, faithful and loving human being .
I can't help thinking his way 2 early demise relates to excess weight.
Can I get a show ? Can WE get a show ?!
SERIOUSLY Hun let's Do it !
I had VBG surgery with Dr Weber. Worst mistake of my life he botched my surgery and I will never be the same.
Well I DID purchase some makeup and ... once the bathroom mirror is halfway properly lit up - plan to use it :)
Here's the issue - without the use of heavy duty enlarging glasses I can't read nor really precisely apply eye makeup !
I REALLY don't want 2 look like one of those older ladiez w crooked eyeliner and crease-caked foundation/ powder either.
My ( rented) bathroom walls are marble tile so installing an extending 5x magnifying lighted mirror is not an option.
I thought about glasses where one eye then the other eyes lens could drop so I could see what I'm applying but don't have a clue where to find them
. So now it's just still sunscreen , under eye concealer, sunscreen powder ( there's a wonderful one at Sephora looks just like translucent powder on and it's 30 spf ) and brow pencil.
Would very much like eyeliner n mascara but have to solve the seeing problem . Any ideas?
When we?re largely immobile we don?t get little spider veins as we age nor varicose veins ( which bulge a little ) as a part of ? normal ? aging.
An unfortunate side effect of diligently exercising ( or often just working on your feet ) after Bariatric surgery and significant weight loss is the itching and discomfort and unsightliness of these veins starting.
The GOOD news is there are easy ways to prevent them forming ( and cure them permanently / keep them from getting worse if they?re already present )
K2 vitamin and Horsechestnut herbal capsules both help leg circulation the lack of which is what causes spider veins.
K2 cream ( available at the Vitamin shoppe ) minimizes the appearance of burst capillaries which usually look like bruises. So does self- tanner ? or a real tan on your legs.
Persistent itching ( particularly around the ankles ) after exercise is a sign your capillaries are stressed . K2 and Horsechestnut are in order- and anti itch gel .
Very quickly leg circulation accommodates to regular exercise so this is just a temporary thing .
Permanent capillary vein issues can be cured with ( largely painless ) sal****er micro- injections and even minor surgery can be done if absolutely necessary in the case of painful and protruding varicose veins that can significantly impede good limb circulation.
Insurance usually covers both procedures.
