Post - Op self-image fears...

This is a great fear of mine. Oddly enough, I never really saw myself as fat. Well, I always KNEW I was fat, but I always had a fairly decent self image. Being clothed is one thing, but being naked is all together different. In the past, being fat, I always felt that when I was naked or even in a bathing suit it was no surprise to the person I was with. I am fat and that's that and it sure as hell doesn't disappear when my clothes are off, so being undresed is the same as dressed and I have nothing to worry about. I am worried that once I lose a ton of weight that I will have this hanging skin, and super droopy boobs, and be really scary looking when I get undressed. I am 26 and single so there will be times when I'll be in that position to "surprise" someone. I know it may seem trivial, but it's not to me. Any thougts from anyone? Thanks.
