Aussie, I am 33 and am single. Was sleeved 2 weeks ago. I'm in your boat, sister! Cant wait to see what the future brings!! Bring it on, right?!

But yeah, I mean I'll admit it scares me. I did this for ME and my son.. but you KNOW in the back of my mind I'll always think the chances after surgery to meet a decent guy should be better! Ya know? And what if they're not? A total disappointment. We shall see....

Congratulations on your new man!

I too hope to have as much fun. Not sure I am that young, wish I had done it a few years ago now (but I chickened out then, this time I am very sure)

But I guess you are never too old to fall in love.

hey you are more than 20 years younger than me. you have plenty of time to find a wonderful man. Losing weight opens up a whole new world, so be picky!

just became single a week ago. glad i got it over with and did it. was in a relationship for 2.5 years with someone i feel i settled with. weight has been lifted off my shoulders

dunno if i wanna meet someone this soon yet, but gonna stay in here and read through some things.

but i do want to get back into the dating scene, so i'm excited about that. would be nice if there were a site for WLS patients to date etc.

I will be sleeved on 10/29 and I am also single. In the past my self esteem has been non-existant and dated all the wrong guys. Im hoping one day I will have confidence and a nice guy.

I'm newly sleeved (2 weeks today). I'm 30, live in Sydney and single and am really looking forward to the next 5 years of my life. I'm hoping this sleeve will be the beginning of my new life :) good luck all.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
