wow Alan, thanks for sharing, my side profile looks liek your before pic, but i can still look forward.
i know all too well what it feels like to get the stares and the rude, crude amd inconsiderate comments from people, it really bothers me and i usually end up in tears feeling quite sorry for myself.
never heard of the surgery, but will look into it.
God Bless You! you are amazing.
