New Dating Site for Bariatric Patients!

  • Popular Post

Hi All! Alex has graciously allowed me to post once about my dating site for weight loss surgery patients. I designed this site after input from several friends who have had weight loss surgery, myself included. Many of us are new to dating and just discovering ourselves and dating in general is hard enough, let alone after weight loss surgery. I thought it would be a great idea to bring men and women together who have both had some type of weight loss surgery. We all want to stay on track and we all fear regaining the weight we've worked so hard to lose. Finding someone with similar goals and interests would be great for long term success. www.loveafterwls.com was born!

loveafterwls.com is NOW totally FREE! If you were a previous paying member, please unsubscribe and rejoin as a FREE member.

Our site offers personal profiles with up to ten pictures, blogging, instant messaging, forums and more. Like all new dating sites, it will take awhile to grow our membership but come on in, fill out your profile, start a blog if you wish and help build this dating site into something great!

Please tell your friends, especially men. We currently have a lot more women on the site than men.

Visit www.loveafterwls.com for more information!

Thanks :)

    I wish you great luck on this endeavor. But does anyone know what the breakdown is of men vs women having WLS? I hope you're not ultimately frustrated by the statistics of the population. In my sup

    What a great idea! I wish my partner had the mindset of a WLS person. It sure would be nice to be with someone whose eating and exercise habits were more in line with my own.

I wish there were more men on the site. :(

It's still hard to navigate. I don't ever see anyone on it.

I just signed up for your site! I have been deleting myself off the BBW dating sites I'm on (that I never had any luck on anyway!) and I thought how cool it would be to find someone that has gone through or will be going through the same thing I am. It would make eating meals so much easier! I just wish more men knew about it but I will share it in my groups!

Anyone using that website? I've heard there is very few men! I'm 21, Female, single, in SoCal. I had my VSG Nov of 2014. Down 126lbs so far, pushing for a little more! I'm up for a chat, getting to know people from anywhere! :) DM me! I also have a VSG Instagram. It's Kelsey.VSG20! Follow me, I'll follow back! ❤️

@@KelseyNicole I tried the site but not much traffic on it.

@@KelseyNicole I must have found your instagram before because I already had you on there. lol

Ohh how funny! Comment on something so I can see if I follow you! Lol

@@KelseyNicole just did, the one with the steak lol I don't really use my instagram for weightloss, it's more of my personal stuff.

Doesn't seem like there's much activity. Although I got one that messaged me back though, we'll see how that goes. Only a few people in my area have been active in the last few YEARS. My name on there is TheSabretooth. Feel free to add me.

We've tried very hard and spent a lot of money over the last three years to get this site going. It's extremely hard to start a dating site from scratch. When I researched making this site, I learned that most companies make up 500 - 1,000 fake profiles and send fake messages to people. I wasn't about to do something as dishonest as this. What I do need for this dating site to be a success is for people to talk about it and share the link with their friends. A lot of people say negative things about the site because it's not got 100,000 members. I'm not sure where people think I'm magically supposed to make those people appear from.

This dating site is totally free to use, unlike other sites. I am happily married and don't need the site. The site was created two and a half years ago when I was talking to some wls friends about the hardships of dating after wls. I thought how cool it would be to date or even marry someone living the same lifestyle. I asked my husband to build the site and I assumed the wls community would support it and advertise it. It takes a village to make a new dating site successful.

As I stated earlier, this site cost me a few thousand dollars. I did it because I am passionate about weight loss surgery, relationships and helping people succeed. The site is completely free to use. The only person it costs is me.

There have been at least three successful relationships come from the site that I know of.

It would be great if rather than talking negatively about the site and the lack of members if people would help support it by sharing the link with your friends and in your online support groups. Only then will the wls singles grow.

Thanks so much and good luck!

I'm glad the site exists. I just wish there were more poeple on it. That's not your fault, it's just a new site. I for one would love to find someone near me who also had weight loss surgery. I think that would make things much easier, someone who knew where you came from, your struggles, and who understands some of us might have loose skin and not be repulsed by it.
