HipHopLatte 0 Posted February 22, 2018 Hi [emoji1309] I had gastric bypass in 1999. I’ve kept the weight off since but it’s difficult meeting men who understand what I went through. I’m at a time in my life where I would really like to meet someone special. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roadrunner 1 10 Posted February 28, 2018 My advise is use diff. avenues (some in person as well as online etc) and connect with someone who genuinely wants to know you and go from there. That will likely widen the pool (of potential matches) since looking particurlary for guys that know exactly what you more or less went through narrows it quite a bit. Also many guys want to meet women so try to minimize it somewhat instead of overthinking it. Not saying you are rather making a suggestion. Last but not least it is ok to ask the guy you may be interested in and some guys actually like that because they dont risk getting rejected etc. 1 deltagirl93 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
336Mike 554 Posted February 28, 2018 I always tell...it's not comfortable and I figure if they have a problem with it then they're not the type of person I'd want to be around anyhow.

I like to date women who have had WLS, my previous relationship was with someone who had the sleeve as well. Was great having that in common and we could share meals and exercise together. I'm not secretive with my surgery, it's part of who I am and what I chose to help me live a healthy lifestyle. 8 proud grammy, wjgo, ProudGrammy and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dreamingsmall 1,125 Posted March 1, 2018 I don't tell people on dates. Because you never know if it will go somewhere. I still go for meals have a salad. They don't notice anything. I'd tell if I was in a relationship though. Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TerriWoods 14 Posted March 7, 2018 Hi @HipHopLatte. I couldn't agree with you more. I'd like to meet someone special who gets it and isn't judgy about my wls decision. 2 lovemylab13 and 336Mike reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
336Mike 554 Posted March 7, 2018 I agree. That's a very important aspect for all of us who are single. Much easier and more comfortable when someone understands the struggle to get where we are and respects/supports the choices we make. VSG 10/11/17 HW= 360 SW= 292 CW= 220 GW= 220 3/7/18!!

Roadrunner 1 10 Posted March 22, 2018 Hi All, Hey Ashley, I understand what you mean. I'd like to settle as well as move. Keep looking for quality and try not to interact with those you can relate to rather than anyone you're attracted to. Some guys make that mistake at times.
