I don't feel like telling my new partner about my sleeve surgery. And by partner I really mean lover - not looking for anything more right now.

I get keloid scaring - raised and red and ridged-so even though surgery was three months ago they are VERY obvious.

So, does anyone have any suggestions of another surgery that would look similar? He is a doc so it will be hard to come up with something believable.

I'm sure some will say just tell him. But I have had a lot of other surgeries and scars that I will have to tell him and I'm already very self conscious about those.

Thanks.

She has already lost the bulk of her weight, she is around 200lbs now. Any weight she drops from now is going to be at a basically normal pace and not a WLS surgery pace.

Women don't drop weight at the rate men do, and people that see you often don't notice it.

Finally men are dumb, and if the sex is good he will believe whatever she tells him.

No we are not dumb...we know if we keep our mouth's shut good things will happen.

But we are missing the fun stories...for instance:

"Do you remember the movies Alien when the critter pops out of the stomach?"

One previous casual encounter asked those scars and another, and she knew I had been in the Army, so she assumed they were all war wounds...which she also decided needed additional TLC. I wasn't going to get into which was from Panama and a departed Noriega thug and which ones were from Mexico.

ROFL.

To OP- I'd keep it short and sweet, and wouldn't bother with too many details: "it's from my recent surgery, babe...do you want to make my booboo better? ". I don't see why a normal guy would be more interested in gathering your med anamnesis instead of making your booboo better

@@Shainadelphia - just remember this one...

I told people at work that I had stomach surgery to remove an abdominal mass. Granted, they can't see my scars but I had to explain the absence from work and the weight loss. I'm 2 1/2 month out and have lost 35 pounds but nobody has really noticed yet (or at least nobody has said anything).

I told nosy people at work who kept asking "how are you losing all that weight?" that I had a cocaine problem. It quiets them very quickly.
