Want opinion on do I tell



Recommended Posts

Ask yourself this, would you want him to tell you if he was having this surgery?

Its all a personal choice, and I bet people in here would be split pretty evenly between tell or don't tell. I personally would tell them. You are going to have the surgery and eventually that person will probably put 2 and 2 together, so you might as well test the waters.

Hi everyone I'm newly dating someone and soon I will be my VSG surgery. My question is do I tell this guy I'm dating or not

If you have to ask, the answer is probably no.

If you were in a place with him that you had a deep connection/relationship, you wouldn't be asking us you would just tell him.

I wasn't dating anyone at the time I had surgery. The people have I dated post-op, I have been honest with about losing weight and trying to get in better health, but I haven't mentioned surgery. None have ask and most aren't curious that I have lost/am losing weight. They just like that I'm pretty and look amazing in a dress. :lol:

I guess the only issue you are going to have to address is recovery. You don't want to ghost on a new guy if you like him,

I dunno if it isn't serious I would probably just break it off. You need to be focused on yourself and you food. It takes a lot of energy to get this right post-op. Then when you get into post-op hormone based mood swings. I wouldn't subject anyone to that I didn't have a really strong connection to. I'm lucky I have kept all my friends :lol:

So dish on this guy so we can give better advice. How long have you been dating? What are your ages? Is he divorced? Where did you meet him? Have you been to pound town yet?

I'm terrified of dating now, them seeing my body now that it's all melted. I'm having a really hard time emotionally with that myself. I am really into this guy and he's into me but I'm too afraid to pull the trigger because then I have to have to deal with how disgusting I feel I look without cloths on. But then I don't want to wait 2+ years for the full-body life to have sex. lol! Oh man, I'm such a mess. This is the one area where I have no idea what to do, how to start, etc.

Well if you really like him then be honest & tell him if you plan on still seeing him ... cos think he's gonna know somethings up eventually right ...then u will see if there is a stronger connection.. ..
especially when u start dropping all the weight.. .. lol otherwise if you don't wanna keep seeing this guy then no don't .. & ghost him lol.. good luck Tammy ! [emoji4][emoji106]

Good luck. Just be weary. You never know who's going to have an opinion about your surgery and he might have a negative reaction you didn't expect. But I do agree with the Person who says he is going to know something is up depending on how frequent you see each other.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
