Hi everyone - daddy used to say

[Guest guest]

I can tell you sincerely that men can love a woman NO MATTER what she looks

like. My husband loves me with everything he has. He only wants me to have

the surgery cause he knows it will make me happy. I wasn't this heavy when

we met, but I was a long way from being thin. So, don't give up, you want

someone who loves you no matter what, so don't get this surgery thinking you

will find a man to love you. Yes you may find more men are interested in you

but they may not treat you the way you are supposed to be treated. In the

end you SHOULD end up with someone who would have loved you even when you

were overweight. I am reading this thinkging this doesn't quite make sense

so I guess what I am trying to say is Yes men can love no matter about the

weight, and if you do have this surgery don't hide it from a potential

boyfriend, it would be a great way to weed out the shallow ones. Sorry this

is so long you guys, but I feel strongly about this and am trying to get my

point across and I am thinking I am not doing a good job...LOL.

Tania in land,

Way to go lady, you did a great job getting the point across. I've been

married 33yrs, and overweight my whole life, but not as much as now. My

guy loves me no matter what, small or big. Its whats on the inside that

counts, not whats on the outside. I agree, she find someone just for her.

But needs to let them know about weight problem, and it will weed the

true ones out from those only out for the looks. Good luck, Joyce

[Guest guest]

that men don't like fat women and the ones that did were just after

one thing. So, naturally, I'm 41, single, never been married, and

I'm

5'2, weight 335 and have a BMI of 42. Figures, huh? Living in

California doesn't help either. But I've been " lurking " for a couple

days trying to get a feel for the bypass surgery and all it entails.

I have to say it sure looks enticing. In any event what I would like

to hear from people " out there " is two thing:

1. What is the very first step I should take on this road? Talk to

the insurance (I don't trust 'em and would rather not!); fill out the

Doc's on-line form? ? ?

2. Since you have been in my shoes, what is your opinion of what my

dad said. Is it true? Am I just kidding myself thinking some man

would love me for all my " inner beauty? " I suppose it's silly to

ask,

especially if I can have the surgery, but I would like another point

of view!

Thanks!

[Guest guest]

I wasn't exactly fat when I met my hubby but I wasn't exactly thin either. I

have gained....thinking.....aprox. 60lbs since we got married and 77lbs since

we met. LOL, if he didn't like the idea of me gaining weight he could have

simply broke up with instead of marrying me. I am very lucky. He has put up

with a lot of crap from me because of my weight. I remember one day we were

going to his parents house for dinner. I was all crying cause I didn't know

what to wear and just wanted to wear sweatpants because I felt nothing else

fit. However I thought I would be really out of place wearing them cause I

figured everyone would be dressed way better than I. Well, do you know what

he did? He changed his clothes and put sweatpants on...LOL, just so I wasn't

the only one wearing sweatpants. And he has done it more than once. That

proved to me that he loved me, unconditionally. Thank you god for bringing

me Chris.

That was a very cruel thing for your father to say to you. Some parents seem

to think that by using insults it will make us magically be able to lose

weight, that's the way my mother was, she had a hard time dealing with having

an overweight child.

There are men out there who only care what they see on the outside and if

they like it will then decide to see what's on the inside, that's the kind of

men women shouldn't want, they are usually empty headed with no heart, not

all men are a--holes, but you do have to weed the bad ones out.

Of course there is someone out there who will love you for yourself. My

husband has been with me for 28 yrs. through my fat years, a couple of slim

years, my not as fat as I am now years and through it all he has always loved

me for who I am not what I look like. I want this surgery to look better, but

that is only a very very small part of it, I want it mainly to feel better

physically, because right now I'm miserable, I can't do much, I can't

tolerate the heat of being outside, I can't walk a lot because of joint pain

and getting out of breath. I'm sorry, I got carried away, I just get furious

when I hear of someone overweight being treated with cruelty and

insults!!!!!!! How does anyone think that we can have a good view of

ourselves and of who we are when we've spent most of our lives being treated

in a way that most people wouldn't treat their animals. At least they

(animals) do get a kind word, we get insults, wisecracks, jokes being made

about us and that's about it.

This site is a wonderful place, because everyone here knows how the other

feels, they see the beauty of each person here and treats them that way.

I agree with what Tania says. My husband has seen me gain and lose weight

over the 29 years we have been married and his love has never changed or

wavered. I also was thinner when we got married and I sometimes think it

might be harder to meet potential mates when you are heavier. But I also

think that once you lose the weight, you want to make sure that your

physical appearance isn't the most important thing to a man. It has always

driven me crazy when I hear men complaining that their wives have gotten fat

or out of shape - they don't look the same as they did when they got

married. It just seems to me that this is a really shallow and superficial

approach to a relationship and there is just so much more to a person than

his or her appearance. I feel blessed that I found a good man who loves me

for my intelligence and sense of humor. There are lots of good men out

there, so keep a positive attitude. But don't do this for anyone else or

because you think it will help you find a man! Do it for yourself because

you are worth it.

Well, I must be looking in all the wrong places because I have *never*

found someone who loved me fat, period, come what may, etc. I have been

treated like *total crap* after getting fat in two marriages. One beat

me up, the other ignored me.

Now, I really really envy you ladies who have found the great guys, but

they are not falling out of trees around here. How about some hints on

where to find them??

But, no matter what, I will never, never, never, never, ever put up with

some jerk with an attitude about fat people again, never.

Kind regards,

Yes, it is, but if you are fat when you first meet him, that in itself

probably helps weed out the losers.

The problem comes with " getting fat " later, when you're already stuck

with him.

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I agree that if you get fat later and you are stuck with a jerk, it can be

hell. I really feel lucky.

As an obese person having a conversation with firends, co-workers and/or

aquaintences, I am just amazed at what people say about being fat,

criticizing people who have gained weight, making fat jokes, etc. It's as

if you are not even sitting there and thay have no conception that what they

are saying may be really offensive or hurtful to you.

I think if a person is successful and does lose a great deal of weight, when

that person starts dating or meeting people, he or she will be very attuned

to new their new friends's attitudes about weight and appearance, just by

listening to their conversations with their " fat " ears. I think in the

past, even when I was thinner, I had such low self-esteem that I hated my

fat self and could buy into evey jerk's assessment that fat was bad and

appearance was highly important. But after a lot of work on raising my self

esteem, I agree with your previous post:

" But, no matter what, I will never, never, never,

never, ever put up with some

jerk with an attitude about fat people again,

never. "

There's so much more to me than my appearance. If I get to have the MGB,

being thinner will be nice - but I'm really in it for my health. I lost

both my parents when they were in their 50's due to heart problems. And I

know that's my future if I don't do something about my obesity.

I guess I just can't give any advice about where to find good men - I

haven't been out looking in a long time!

Sorry to tell you this but Daddy was wrong!! There are good men who love

you no matter what you look like. I have the most wonderful husband in the

world. He loves me regardless. Before I ever heard of the MGB, and was on

one of the 5000 diets I've failed in my life, I was crying about starving

and only loosing 1/2 pound one week he actually told me to quit. He said

he'd love me no matter what. Of course I went into this spill about being

as big as house, not able to get in the door, and my sweetie piped out,

" forget the d--- door, I'll tear it out and make it bigger if I have to, I

just want you to be happy. Have faith, your Mr. Right is out there looking

for you too! Besides you're going to have this surgery and your weight

issue will be gone anyway! Oh and before I forget, the first thing I did

was fill out the online form! If you just want to talk sometime feel free

to contact me at rosemarylocklear@... or just call .

I use to feel the same way! But I'm living proof the inside is what is most

important.

,

Just my two cents, you should never have a problem locating the guy you want

ever again. You are a doll! I called my husband over to see your new

picture and he couldn't believe it. He was with me at clinic the day you

were there. He was amazed. He said you looked 20 years younger! Cool huh!

(Now I've got a lot to live up to!!) I should have kept my mouth shut!

Anyway, you look beautiful. Keep the web site coming, I really enjoy

looking each day to see if something new has showed up! About the music, I

thought my 14 year old had downloaded something and it was bleeding over on

your web site before I realized it was your music. I guess I'm getting old!

My kids were enjoying it, and I told them we had to dance to it when I got

to a size 16. Of course my 14 year old piped in, won't have to do that

dance for a long time! KIDS!

Thanks for the feedback! So were you heavy when you men the

Wonderful

Door Enlarger? Your hubby sounds teriffic! As for e-mailing you, I

would love to, but when I read your post here it doesn't give me the

whole address. It gives me " rosemarylocklear@c... " Maybe if you

left

the part after the " @ " sign in another post I would be able to e-mail

you. Do they censor e-mail addresses? Let's see: my e-mail address

is sms@... and I would certainly love to hear from you.

Especially where you are in the process. Hope to hear from you soon!

HI, I have a question......

5'2 " 335...BMI of 42? This BMI should be 61. Did you mean 235? Just wondering

that men don't like fat women and the ones that did were just after

one thing. So, naturally, I'm 41, single, never been married, and

I'm

5'2, weight 335 and have a BMI of 42. Figures, huh? Living in

California doesn't help either. But I've been " lurking " for a couple

days trying to get a feel for the bypass surgery and all it entails.

I have to say it sure looks enticing. In any event what I would like

to hear from people " out there " is two thing:

[Guest guest]

OK try this rosemary locklear @ carolina . net (omit the spaces) As far as

being heavy when I met my sweetie, you bet my big butt I was!!) I've been

morbidly obese as far back as I can remember. The least I ever remember

weighing was 120 pounds in the 5th grade and mom had put me on a diet over

the summer to get me there! We lived on boiled eggs and dill pickles that

summer! lol, lol I'm glad those days are gone FOREVER!!!!

I'll be waiting to hear from you!

Doc's on-line form? ? ?

2. Since you have been in my shoes, what is your opinion of what my

dad said. Is it true? Am I just kidding myself thinking some man

would love me for all my " inner beauty? " I suppose it's silly to

ask,

especially if I can have the surgery, but I would like another point

of view! >>

Well, I'm not qualified to answer #1, but I too am interested in the

answer... As for #2, I'd say no, you're not kidding yourself thinking someone

will fall in love with you, as the way you are now.... I have a wonderful

husband, granted, when I met him I was only maybe 185, but I'm 252 now, and

he still bugs the crap outta me for sex almost every night... LOL He's a

sweeheart, too... is good with the kids, sends me little cards and always

says 'love you!' Okay, was that more than you all needed to know? ROFL

SORRY!!!!

I agree with what the others have said because I have a wonderful

husband (28 years) who has dieted along with me but never pressured

me

to lose weight, never made crude remarks, never complained because

his

birthday is in February and I was always on a diet in February and he

got some weird birthday cakes. I want the MGB because I want to

participate fully in life -- I'm tired of being a spectator.

But, Sweetie, unless you have a typo in your figures, your BMI is 61.

Hi! Thanks for the feedback. Yes, indeed, it was a typo. 235.

Sorry. Glad you have a supportive hubby and I'm with you: I, too,

am

tired of spectating. Ciao!
