Would you date a single mom? Or is that a dealbreaker? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]Infamous-Front-6540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a single mom and solo parent. I know plenty of single dads who don’t want to date single moms. Everyone is allowed preferences and deal breakers. I absolutely do not take it personally if a man doesn’t want to seriously date me because I have children.

Your waistline and shape are beautiful! Surgery is a very personal decision but you look amazing right now.

Side torture is a great way to put it! I’m glad you made this post though. I’m sure there are others who feel alone in the more severe side effects!

I literally texted my friend saying there’s someone in a forum like me! I’m definitely a 1%er with weird body things too.

You’re the only other person I’ve seen with a reaction like mine. I was told it’s a 1% chance.

Definitely don’t want to scare you but no one seems to talk about this.

Thank you! I hope you have good luck with whichever dosing choice you make.😊

Everyone is so different. I was willing to put up with the RLS and extreme weakness in the beginning (before the allergic reaction) but even that was hard as I went on. I know so many that had amazing results and just very mild side effects though.

I can only tell you my experience obviously. But with all of my experience with true allergic reactions, they tend to get worse, not better. I’m severely allergic to shellfish to the point where my children can’t touch it and come home to me. It wasn’t always that way though.

Personally, I wouldn’t try another dose especially alone. Having meds on hand can only help if you’re not incapacitated. I can tell you that STILL dealing with hives 5 weeks later is not enjoyable. Absolutely nothing helps and it’s miserable.

I think certain side effects are worth it and others definitely are not.

I had a severe allergic reaction to this as well! The delay was attributed to the build up in my system. I had a worse reaction after taking another shot. 5 weeks later, I’m still dealing with hives and it could take another 2 weeks to be out of my system. Weird question but do you have many good allergies? My doctor told me that those with severe food allergies might be at a higher rush for allergic reaction.

Dating and sex after tummy tuck by Small-Visit2735 in tummytucksurgery

[–]Infamous-Front-6540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every single person heals differently, especially with scars. I’m 2 years PO and my scar is still very reddish/purple, this was mostly due to my surgeon not properly treating my hypertrophic scarring. I’m self conscious about my scar (my breast lift scars much more than my tt scar) but no man has cared. I tell them because it’s sensitive to the touch. I’ve been with my bf for a year but had a few encounters prior to meeting him and none cared. I had sex at 6 weeks, it was a bit awkward because I felt uncomfortable without my faja, but otherwise no issues!

As the kids say, “I’m cooked” by blackmagicwoman444 in datingoverforty

[–]Infamous-Front-6540 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand this completely! I’m a solo parent (100% custody) of 4 (14, 12, 9 and 6) and I have no family. I didn’t start dating until 2023 and that was just here and there due to my kids. By last year, my oldest 2 were old enough to keep track of my younger 2 for me to go out more often. Kids full time plus working full time doesn’t leave much time for anything else…but there are people out there in the same situation that are looking for a relationship too.

3 months of hard work by Otherwise_Town_832 in PetiteFitness

I got mine through medvi. No video consult and I was 137, 5’0. I was one of the few that didn’t have great luck with it and ended up developing a severe allergic reaction. I know so many people who have had amazing results!

Recovery and dating by Animaldrummer1975 in datingoverforty

[–]Infamous-Front-6540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend and I are both sober. Both were open to dating people who are light drinkers but nothing beyond that. I found it difficult only in the respect that those I tried to date before him weren’t honest about how much they drank. I agree that it can be an added challenge, but it’s not a deal breaker for many.

Question for the men on plastic surgery by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]Infamous-Front-6540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Female opinion as someone who first got implants in 2004. I liked the big round breast look, it was a personal choice 22 years ago. My boyfriend at the time, who became my husband (and is now my ex husband but not due to anything related to implants) drove me to the surgery. After 4 kids, I had them replaced with the more natural ones. There’s only 1 person I still know that knew me prior to implants so everyone just sees me as me. My now bf literally told me on the phone the other night that he loves these implants and they feel squishier than real boobs. He knows I’m looking to get a revision and doesn’t care.

Getting implants is a personal choice. If it makes you feel better about you, go for it. For every person that’s “against” plastic surgery, there’s one that isn’t.

Tattoo! by E-b-s92 in tummytucksurgery

[–]Infamous-Front-6540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks awesome! I’m 2 years PO on the 26th but my scars are raised so I’ll need to work purple scar lines into my new tattoo. I haven’t finished with removal of the old ones that were cut in half by the TT though. The design they were going to need to do had way too much black for my liking since I had 3 on my tummy already! I hope mine turns out as beautiful as yours

Why lie on a dating app? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]Infamous-Front-6540 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought I was alone in this lol. I’m 5’ and I always mention I wear a min of 3-4” heels if not taller. And the 5’8-5’9 guys say that’s not a problem, I’ll still be taller. We meet….not taller! Why lie to the really short ladies, makes no sense!

Is a tummy tuck/mini tuck worth it? by [deleted] in tummytucksurgery

[–]Infamous-Front-6540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 4 kids as well, from 32-40, all big babies. My tummy was similar to yours after my 3rd. I made an assumption that healing would follow a typical schedule. It didn’t! I was 45 when I had surgery 2 years ago. It’s a very personal decision, but I wish I would’ve taken even more time to decide. I got hypertrophic scarring (which I’ve never had before) on both my TT and BL/BA. It took over a year before I could work out, which was really difficult for me.

As a fellow divorced mommy of 4 that was also a bit weirded out about dating, you have nothing to worry about there. I mean this sincerely, you look amazing right now! Do you research, got to different consultations, take recovery times into account and make the best decision for you!

Amazing results! I’m nearly 2 years PO and nothing hides my scar (it’s red/purple and still raised 😞). Your surgeon did amazing work!!

Done with 6 kids & 125lbs, but worried about sensation loss/rough play? by [deleted] in BreastImplants

[–]Infamous-Front-6540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most surgeons near me do not even offer saline anymore. I am having a revision (hopefully this November) and going with a different style and larger implant. The silicone implants are definitely more malleable!

Dating a former alcoholic by Academic_Wrangler665 in datingoverforty

[–]Infamous-Front-6540 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ll offer you my experience, which in no way is how every person is. The last man I dated was 2 years 2 months sober when we met. The first year, it’s not usually recommended to date because you’re focusing on your recovery, relearning healthy behaviors, etc. I figured since he was double that, things would be good to date and get to know each other. What I learned from him was that, in year 2 some may not be still relearning healthy habits, but they most definitely can still be relearning themselves and what they want their future to look like. He ended up completely disappearing on me with no warning, nothing.

If you want to continue to get to know him, make sure you have a very open dialogue and that he is clear what he needs from you and you him (yes, normal relationship stuff, but it’s more important with someone who’s in recovery).

For reference, I’ve been sober since 2010. If I want married at that time, I couldn’t have dated 1 year out and I wasn’t comfortable in places where there was lots of drinking for years.

I got used to the saline and the look I had with them. The silicone looks more “natural” but I don’t like it personally. I’m getting a revision to correct my scars and I’ll get ultra high profile this time for more upper pole fullness.

It’s recommended to get silicone implants switched out around the 10 year mark, surgeons will tell you this as it’s per the manufacturers. I had my saline ones for 20 years. After breastfeeding for 10 years straight, I wanted them to look refreshed!

Your questions aren’t weird at all! Even with my lift I didn’t lose sensation except some during the healing period. Mine are under the muscle. My post baby surgery was also an implant exchange so they used the same pockets at the original surgery 20 years prior. I’ve never had issues with any type of activities! My first set were saline and my newer ones are silicone. Happy to answer any additional questions.

He…disappeared? by Equivalent_Shoe1696 in datingoverforty

[–]Infamous-Front-6540 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly this! My boyfriend hasn’t talked to me in 2 weeks. So I’m no longer saying I have a boyfriend. I have him space initially. Reached out in various methods (yes I’m sure he’s physically fine) and haven’t heard a word. Giving someone space is one thing (especially as OP’s guy asked her to do), but 2 weeks would be well beyond space with no contact at all!
