Dating w/the LVAD

Hi community *waving* This is a rather odd post for me being as though I was married when I first received my HeartWare Vad in 2010. I am 38 and now seperated (not because of the Vad)and have had a few dating invitations. I've pretty much declined most because I really am sceptical of how someone would react. I went on a couple but did not make it known that I had the Vad. With the HeartWare device, it's easy to just pop it in a nice fancy handbag and no one would know. But what would happen if it alarmed- funny how embarrassing that would be *_* Would it scare them away?? Would they ask a million questions?? Would they still be interested?? For these reasons, I've kinda pulled myself away from the dating scene. Has anyone else experienced the same feeling?

I'm so sorry you are feeling this way. If you are ready for dating I would let them know up front, that way they know your story somewhat before they meet you.I was dating Jason a little over a year when he got the LVAD, but we didnt move in together until AFTER he got the Lvad, so I still had time to run...but I didnt and the right one for you, wont either. Everyone that meets Jason thinks its the neatest thing ever! I wish you the best of luck find that special man just for you, but you have to get out there. Best of Luck!!

You are not alone. I feel the same way you do. I don't know if it is because this is still new to me, I'm a private person, or trying to find the right words to explain it all. I keep telling myself, no matter what, I should not be afraid. If it is meant for US to have that soulmate then it will be.

I am a huge advocate for online dating. When I got my vad, I was dating a guy and it turned out to be too much for him so back to he dating websites mainly for fun. I would flirt around mostly and I only shared my situation with 2 guys after plenty of conversation. I was only going to meet with someone that was very genuine and looking to get to know ME better. I made it clear that sex was not something I was comfortable with just yet. Somehow I crossed paths with the guy Im dating now he is amazing and very understanding of my needs and limitations. My advice to you would be to be upfront, when you feel its right go with that. My priorities have changed and I (as well as everyone) deserves to find happiness, it just may take some extra time and searching. Good luck!

I don't see a reason why not date while you have an lvad. There are people with insulin pumps or with children ;-) and it doesn't stop them from meeting someone . My husband has got a lvad and this not a problem for us in any way. Our dates are even better due to better blood circulation now ;-) I wouldn't obviously hide the information and tell about the lvad a soon as possible. Good Luck!!!

I wanted to share the site below with you, because my brother is looking forward to his surgery on Tuesday, February 2nd, 2016 and I'm already thinking about him looking sporty as the seasons change. The mesh tee shirts on the site below are good looking and great for spring and summer. It's my humble opinion that when you look good and feel good, that confidence radiates, effects others and comes right back to you. If I find any for females I'll sure let you know. You are beautiful, young and judging by your smile - - very outgoing. Please don't let the LVAD change your personality. God has great things in store for you, that's why you're still here. You are already an encouragement to me (and I'm sure you will be to my brother as well). Wishing you the best. If you can't find some cool tee shirts to wear with the same type demin jacket you have on in the picture, perhaps you could consider having them made for you. Good luck with the dating. Just be yourself. Date. You'll be fine! http://www.bonanza.com/listings/Men-s-Crew-Neck-Shirt-LVAD-Available-in-S-M-L-XL-2XL-3XL-Black-White/283445182?gpid=68416460701&gpkwd=&goog_pla=1&gclid=CN3_8Jaz0MoCFQ8zaQodsZgGDg
