Being nekkid after wls is a very different experience. I will share my experience, but try not to be too graphic about it. As you all know Stuart and I found each other again after 9 long years at a support group as we both had gastric bypass. I worried when the relationship turned serious and we became engaged. I wondered if he would still want to marry me after he saw me nekkid. Then I thanked God that he had the same surgery and was able to understand about the extra skin issue. I don't know if I would have been comfortable with anyone who didn't understand why I had the extra skin hanging around.. (litterally)
Anyway Stuart loves me, unconditionally. He says he would have married me at 274 lbs and I believe him. He thinks I am beautiful, extra skin or not. I am not having the skin removed to please him, rather to please myself and protect my spine. The first time Stuart saw me nekkid I have to admit that I was very nervous. However, he didn't look at my skin.. he looked at my eyes and I could tell how much he truly loved me. For me it has been amazing.. for the first time I was not afraid to be myself.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
