  1. Personally success has been different for me op. I've had better dealings with women since wls than I've ever had before. I'd love to say the weight doesn't matter but I'd be a liar.

    I'd suggest staying off of the dating sites. Women become irrationally picky and entitled on them. It's probably best to seek out friends of friends who are single. Or get into hobbies or meet ups that involve both genders.

  2. The procedure went well and last about 4 hours. Dr said he removed about 10lb of excess skin. I am less then 48 hours post-op and feel pretty good. The majority of the discomfort is from the Abdominoplasty. Dr said I bled a lost even though I avoided aspirin, etc 2 week prior. I was pretty weak yesterday but sipping on good ol Protein Shakes and lost of rest have helped.

    Good to hear that all went well. Ten pounds for three surgies doesn't sound like a lot but judging by other before and after pictures it's a significant difference.

    How long is your expected recovery and hospital stay? Sounds like it'll be awhile before you can back to any workout routine.

  3. I think when people say 'lower your standards' they don't really mean you should be willing to date married alcoholics (at least I hope not!)
    But I know more than a few (single) women who have a literal list of requirements: be above a certain height, earn a certain amount of money, have a certain level of education, etc. etc. There's a tendency for a lot of women to go around with a Mr. Perfect in their head and that's who they want and no one else will do. The probelm is, he doesn't exist - because you made him up.
    I didn't lower my standards when I went out with my husband for the first time, but I did open myself up to new possibilities. He wasn't my type at all, his clothes were too conservative, he wasn't nearly as "cool" as other guys I'd dated... and he's the most wonderful man in the world: supportive, funny, romantic, clever.
    So I don't like the phrase 'lower your standards,' but I do think people should keep an open mind about who they're willing to date. Just because a man doesn't catch your eye or make your heart flutter at first sight doesn't mean you won't have crazy chemistry with him once you get to know him a little. Just because he's unemployed right now or doesn't make a lot of money doesn't mean he can't be a great guy who keeps your house running like a well-oiled machine (stay at home dads!)
    Anyway, no, avoiding drunks and cheaters is not being too picky. But beyond that... I think it's worth it to give unlikely suitors a chance.

    Somebody gets it....

  4. My surgery has been set for December 11th. My pre-op is on November 28th. I'll be undergoing panniculectomy with Add-On Abdominoplasty as well as the Gynecomastia. All which were approved by insurance (Anthem)
    I'm a bit nervous on the recovery. Hopefully like with any surgery the sooner I can get up and moving the better off I will be. Luckily I will have 3 weeks off work to recover and my Mom will be flying out on December 9th from North Carolina to help assist with my boys (2 and 4)
    Like most guys there haven't been many before/after pics. I know I will take some. Before and through out the healing to potentially share with other guys looking to have plastic surgery done
    I just hope once all the healing and swelling is said and done its what I'm am envisioning. Which is no more moobs and a flat-ish stomach area.

    Keep us informed bro. It's nice to hear insurance is covering it all.

  5. WRONG.
    men don’t post much here anymore because women like you just can’t seem to comprehend the notion of subforums. thus ruining the comraderie we are seeking.
    or you just can’t stop yammering. probably both.
    go to the Women’s forum...... SEE NO MEN THERE.

    Truth. I've been here for awhile and women just can't help themselves. I've literally seen women give a man advice on how to grow a beard.

    A thread can go two pages full of women giving their two pennies before a man post anything.
