Loose tummy skin

Sigh. I'm dating right now and I'm really worried about the lose skin on my stomach.

I have a flap that really bothers me, it's not hideous but it's there.

The rest of me is pretty darn nice, just my tummy needs work.

I'm so nervous about having sex with anyone new over this. I can't afford to have plastic surgery till next year but I don't want to wait to date that long!

How important do you think it is that I have a perfect or at least, flat tummy?

I'm pretty self conscious about my loose skin and apron, but my girlfriend doesn't seem to care.

I don't care if the lady I'm dating has an apron or not.

I try my best (not always successfully) :-( to see the person inside, not what's on the outside.

This would not bother me if I liked a guy a lot. It really doesn't matter. So that's some perspective!!

@@bellabloom It's not going to matter to someone who is interested in you. If it does, then you are better off without them! This would be another advantage of dating someone who also had WLS, they would be thinking the same about their loose skin.
