Excited but nervous!

So I may have to pay for 10% of the surgery out of pocket, but I got health insurance through my employer now, which covers the procedure! I immediately called my PCP and had her put a new referral through to a different program and just a couple days later the office called me to set up an appointment! Yesterday I received a bunch of questionnaires to fill out and my consult is on the 30th! I'm glad they got me in so quickly, I'm so ready for this to get going!

I'm having issues with my husband's lack of support for all of this. When I told him about my consult next week he said I was wasting my time and being stupid. He said the same when I was filling out my paperwork. I'm not sure what his problem is, but I would think that he would be happy for me. I hope he comes around. Anyone reading this have the same type of problem? :unsure:

Do you think he is insecure? You will probably need to sit down with him and ask him why he isn't supportive. It can get very difficult and strain your marraige if he isn't supportive.

My husband thinks it is stupid as well. However, this is my body and my life and I will do what is best for me whether he like it or not.

I mean for gods sake he stands in a boat for hours throwing a hook in the water to catch a fish and then throws the fish back! So once again, that is what he likes and he is entitled to do it, I don't have to like it just because he does.

So sorry to hear about your lack of support. I agree with the other two ladies here and will be thinking of you and hope he comes around.

Change can be hard on people sometimes and I agree with kleinow01 he may be insecure and thinking if you get all skinny and "hott" you may not need or want him. Men are like that sometimes and they will try to sabatoge your efforts or make you think you can do it "without" the lapband. I know this from experience as I have had several diets sabatoged before. Only you can decide if this is the time for you or not but I know one thing I have been "dieting" one form or another for ten years and a little will come off here or there and then it's back and then some. I kept saying I will get fit before I am 40 - guess what 40 came and went and with little progress. So the next year is going to pass anyway why not be on the road to a healthier happier you? Put a positive spin on it and tell your husband how "he will benefit" from a healthier happier you!! :) Let him know you are doing it for yourself and you would appreciate his loving support. Good Luck I wish you the best!
