Hello,
My name is Jamie and I had Lap-Band in 2009. Re-joining Obesity Help and thought I'd say hello to my fellow LGBTQ folks who are banded. Open to meeting new people in Atlanta and outside of Atlanta.
Take care all!

Hey guys, I guess suggestions are being given for the holiday plans. I need few some pretty gud suggestion of holiday plans for gay couples. I mean, a tourist spot where people don't see them weirdly and they must feel more comfortable with each other.......wowwww....love is the air.He is my bestie and he found his love from a Toronto based gay match making service providers and really happy for them. Juz planning to gift them a tour package for them where they can spent quality time with each other and no one to disturb them. So I'm expecting some good replies from you all.
This was a very interesting article that hit really close to home for me. It was most definitely a double whammy of sorts.
Healthy is sexy. We are getting our bodies healthier. Our minds will need a minute to catch up. Self love has always been a challenge for me.

Hello LGBTQ community,
As a large gay man, it was hard enough trying to find someone. When I did, they did like me for me and who I was even though I was on a bad track and my luck was starting to catch up with me. I will admit it; I liked being liked by guys smaller than me.
Now, I have lost over a 160 pounds and falling like a rock. I went on a date, and that ended up not going as planned so to speak and it was awful. In a way, it was almost easier in the cocoon. However, that external image is now gone...and what I have is a deflated misshaped body. I don't feel attractive, and I want to date, but I also want someone normal. The weirdos have come out of the woodwork so to speak. I am not a bearded lady or some sideshow freak.
How did you combat this? How do you get over it? My feelings right now is vanity run amok.
I suspect just like those people who still think they're fat when really they are far from it feel similar too. I see that on the boards all the time, they still go to buy large clothing or choose larger places to sit.
I reasonably believe I will not be changing what types of clothes I wear so I'll still look my part. But unlike the previously mentioned people I believe most of them are driving forward to a social image which is more exceptable. However for me I feel like it's not exactly like that concidering larger is often saw as powerful in the lesbian world.
However your right about presence that can override size in most any sistuation.
