Men!

I have a question...WHY don't men like to date woman who have had Gastric- Bypass Surgery? Thanks, Robin

Hmmmmmm.....interesting. I don't have an answer.....I didn't know it was an issue. Haven't had my surgery yet. My only thought, for me personally, is the thought of loose skin......I don't know....but that's something I worry about. It will be intersting to see what others say.

Thanks...I am 4 years out and have had all the "loose skin"taken care of! I think they will always see a FAT person behind a thin body and thats just NOT RIGHT! Robin

Someone that shallow isn't worth dating in the first place. Why would the amount of food you can consume cause anyone to justify not dating someone? My guess would be that people who take control of their health show they have control over their lives. Some men are control freaks and can't handle a strong-minded woman. Their loss not yours. Just my opinion. Jon

True and thanks

I met my Boo after when I was about 5 months out. I actually met him over the phone first and then in person. I was leary at first because of my weight and weight loss and once I met him I explained all about my surgery. He is so wonderful...he said it's not about the weight. He said it's about what is in your heart and how good of a person you are. We have been together ever since and I keep losing weight. He is my biggest motivator. He's not hard on me at all. He is always encouraging me and telling me how beautiful I am. He actually said that by the end of the summer he's really going to have to keep his eye on me because I'm going to be so HOT!! He's wonderful and I love him. Stacey B

You are so lucky and I wish the both of u all the best. Robin

If a man has integrity and brains your wieght loss surgry should have only a positive effect. The fact you took action to get healthier should be a plus for you. Look for a better men.

I am looking and its very hard to find a "good" man now a days. Thanks for your reply Robin

Men have no problem dating women who've had WLS. Boys, on the other hand... Don't get too hung up on it. When the right one comes along you'll know. Good luck. DD
