Love your blogs and your positive outlook on everything. I am just over two weeks out, and constantly worrying about getting a leak or something. I keep praying about this and hope my fears go away so I can focus more on the positives like you

Thank you! I am glad you are reading them! I had my days where I worried about that too! Sometimes we let our fear of the what ifs take over. God is in control and all you need to do is focus on getting all healed up and progressing through your diet, oh and drinking! I'll pray for you too! I bet a month out you will be beaming with postives! So far this is the best decision I have ever made and I am loving life! Chin up and good luck to you!

Thank you so very much!! I appreciate it

You are so positive. I am only post op day 4 and cannot stop reading about complications. I think I am going to drive myself crazy. I know that only God knows what the future holds but I cannot wait to be past 10 days when my doc said I would be out of the woods.

I think you and the hubby may want to get him the surgery as well because his lifestyle is in need and if you both are on the same page I think things will get better. It is only natural for him to feel down during these good times after all his health is important as well. Not much you will be able to do for him but be supportive and listen when things get rough.

Thanks everyone...Fred he has mentioned surgery but I don't think mentally he can do what is required. Atleast at this stage. He has a well check this month and I think he knows he is not healthy. Last year he was 20lbs lighter and more active yet his cholesterol blood pressure and liver levels were all pretty high he was also pre-diabetic. This year I am sure the numbers are worse just from weight gain. My hubby will always be the best thing since sliced bread no matter his weight! However it is hard to see him go from a healthy fit Marine who ran 3 miles a day, to now with all these looming health problems. I have always been the one in our marriage that had the weight problems. The roles have reversed some what and it takes an adjustment. Crazy the dips and turns life throws your way! He was there for me and still is, so no doubt I will be there with him!

Doodle I know the feeling! Seems the week before and the few days after complication stories were everywhere! Plus if I had a pain I would wonder is that this or that! I had to stop that madness and focus on getting healed! You will be past that danger zone soon! Prayers to you and stay positive and focus on getting healed up! Complications are rare and most of the time are caught pretty quickly and resolved! You got this surgery to live a healthy happy life put your focus on that and soon that will be you too!
