OT Exposing our Surgery for booty call
Hey BAF, I have a question. I was reading another post which spoke to the right time to tell a potiental partner about her surgery. She says he is a keeper and thats good for her. My question is if its only for one night or maybe several depending on the wind blowing, do you have to share this and Y? I am engaged so yes I had to tell and so grateful I have his support.
I am also engaged and will be married next month and we made the decision together...though he was a little hesitant about it...If I was not in a relationship I would tell others...I am very open with my decision and share my experiences because it may help others...Some people are more private than others but I am open but as time goes on and after the weight is gone I may be more reserved about telling others...As far as if I were dating openly I would probably tell if I felt I would be more involved with an individual.

I'm a single woman and have dated a few guys since my surgery. I'm pretty open. I don't have a problem with talking about my surgery. I think it saves a lot of time to suggest something else other than dinner for a date. I haven't had any negative responses yet, and if I ever do I guess that person just wasn't meant for me.
For me it depends....sometimes I do, But, most times I don't. Kind of on the "don't ask don't tell" Being 2 almost years out now, I just kind of live my life as the smaller person that I am now, I try not to become too consumed with my pouch. I know it's there, It still works, I act accordingly and keep it movin.

Sometimes I share sometimes I dont as well. I recently told the guy I am dating about three months ago. I wasnt sure if he was going to be around. For the longest he complained about him wasting money on dinner...and I finally told him. Now he is supportive and understand that I can only consume so much. I am glad I told because it felt like I was carrying this secret and was not being honest. He thought I was one of this women who was afraid to eat. In fact he made that comment to me prior to me letting the secret out of the bag.
I am swaying this way as well however I do see the openness of everyones side. Depending on the comfort level of the person I may share just because its safe or for identification purposes. Loving the answers so far. And congrats for the diva with the upcoming wedding
that dress is going to look divine

I'm married so my husband knew about my decision and he was supportive of my decision. However, if I was dating I think I would tell if it was necessary for me to (he was goig to meet my family, come to my house and see pictures of me before that sort of thing) but to wear a sign and tell everyone probably not. As free2be..said I try to live my life as a thin person now so folks automaticlaly think I don't eat a lot lmao
I don't see why it should matter to a booty call what you had. And why would there be that much convo about your life in the first place. They are there to serve a certain purpose and when that's over, they should be headed to the door before you get to the fridge. JMHO
If I was dating and we had gone out a couple of times and all that then I would tell. He would see the scarres anyway. I couldn't hide them even if I tried. Mines are very bright and horrid. Looks like I've been shot several times.
