Thank you all for taking the time to reply! @Frustr8, @JediMom, @catwoman7, @ms.sss, and @MsMocie This was helpful. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who despite being heavy, isn't heavy up top. Given my breasts were never bigger than a B cup before I got heavy, I think I'll start saving for a lift. It sounds like that's the most reasonable route to go. I don't really care to have large breasts tbh I just want shirts and bras to fit. One thing I'm looking forward to is not having to make "frankenbras" (taking a bra then making adjustments with numerous safety pins and strap extenders because technically my size doesn't exist lol) anymore. Woohoo!

Hi! So this may sound like a stupid question but I just joined this site, forgive me. Is this section for dating as in like...dating-dating? Or is it more for advice for single WLS patients? Lol, again, sorry if this sounds stupid. If it's for advice, what have been people's general experiences with WLS and dating? Are people who haven't been through or are unfamiliar with it usually understanding when you explain it them? I'm thinking it's probably hit or miss like with anything else when it comes to dating. But still, a date may wonder why you're not eating this or that, etc. I'm afraid of looking weird when going out like when I have to ask for smaller portions or having to explain my dietary restrictions. Lol and admittedly, I'm also nervous about sex. While I've dated plenty, I've never actually had sex with anyone (gasps! LOL). I was always too uncomfortable or shy about how I looked as a heavy person. But now, I'm thinking I'm probably going to feel the same as a lighter person because of the expected loose skin. 😕 I've heard some pretty fierce horror stories from the support group I was attending at my WLS Center. From what I've gathered, dating isn't very successful and a lot people who were already married claimed their spouse couldn't be with them anymore because they became "too high maintenance" or jealous of their weight loss. Even our MODERATOR was telling us her husband cheated on her because he got too jealous of her weight loss and couldn't handle all the changes she had to make in her life because of it.

I sure hope so. Fingers crossed!

Thank you @Mikeyy, @Recidivist, @Maidenhail and @AJ Tylo for taking the time to respond. I know my health is top priority right now, but it's difficult to not start thinking down the road. We all know how much this changes a person's life. I sometimes get discouraged because I'm already starting to notice changes in my friends, who seem kind of weirded out by the whole thing. It's frustrating, but the important thing is to stay optimistic, right? :)
