I dare to date.
I have just been approved and I have a sleeve surgery date for June 4th. I don't want to wait years before I start dating again. It's already been almost 2 years. I would like to meet a guy who has gone through WLS or is pre-op, like myself. So, I'm putting myself out there. I'm 36, and I'm a teacher who enjoys traveling and learning about different cultures. I have a great sense of humor, and I am open to a long distance relationship. GOOD LUCK TO YOU HOPE YOU GET WHAT YOU DESIRE ONLY ADVISE I WOULD GIVE IS REMEMBER YOU COME FIRST AND YOUR SUCCESS IS ALL ON you
