Dating Again...

Hey Guys,

Have any of you started dating again after you had your sugery?  What are your experiences? Do you try to date others who have maybe had the WLS because you feel that they would better understand what you're going through?

I find it hard to get close to someone because I still have yet to get my plastic surgery to remove all the excess skin I have.  I am a faithful fan of the bodyshapers!  Wouldn't go a day without them!
I just feel like if someone hugs me, they might feel my skin...and that scares me to death.
  I don't know...maybe that is just me being weird or something.




Stay blessed and always encouraged.

I recently ended a four year dead end relationship.  I've tried to start dating again but It's going very slow.  My surgeon suggested I find myself a rich boyfriend.  I'm like...really?!  Where are they?  Hell, I'm having a hard enough time finding an average joe.

I think men and women have treated each other so poorly in the past, it makes it hard to get close to anyone period.  I also have a ton of loose skin on my abdomen and it looks and feels a mess.  No matter how many crunches I do nothing helps.  Intimacy is akward for me because I don't want to undress.
