Trying to start dating again

[hbugg 7]

I was banded on June 2nd and so far I've lost 21 lbs and I can already see a huge improvement in my confidence and I'm ready to start dating again. Before I had surgery I was very insecure and wanted to date but figured most guys wouldn't want to date me. It would be nice to have someone to talk to who has also had WLS because that gives us something to connect with. Any advice on dating after WLS or any guys that are single who are looking for the same thing please reply

Such a good idea to find someone going through the same thing. Good luck to you!

I saw a post here on Bariatric Pal from a person named "Bari" about dating that said this...

So, I just saw an ad when at the cinema last week for a dating site for those who have undergone or who are currently undergoing significant weight loss. It's called WeightlessDate.com. It encourages team work and support based on experiencing the same challenges and accomplishments. I thought it was a great idea and wanted to share with the community.

It is hard to talk about WLS. I just don't really know how to bring it up in a conversation.

@@hbugg yeah I thought about putting it in my profile saying that I recently made a healthier change in my life and stuff like that but I don't know how that would come across.

Yeah. That would work too!
