That is heartbreaking!!! What an emotional rollercoaster for you! Please don't let your husband talk you out of it. If you decide to wait because *you* choose to, then that's one thing, but if you know this is the right thing for you, stick to it and be there at noon on Wednesday! If you can survive all of this, living with the band is going to be a cakewalk. Please come back and let us know what you're going to do!

Don't stop now!!! It may cost a little more, and your husband is probably just worried. You have come this far, you can get through it!!! Don't let this set-back stop you!!!

I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Take a little time to get over your disappointment and talk to your husband. It could be that he feels like it was canceled for a reason and now he's hesitant to push forward with it.

Lapband surgery was the best decision i have every made in my life! I was 48 and tried everything and spent thousands and thousands on failed attempts. I went aug of 2006 to Mexico and had the most wonderful experience ever in any hospital... It went perfect and so has my lapband weight loss. I will be at two year aniversary in two months and am within 10lbs from goal.. I believe this is the only thing that works. It is if you are a quantity eater an answer to your prayers. You have no choice to loose and your most often not hungry and when you are it really is funny how little you can eat and survive and be full. I eat 1/4 of anyone else at the table and it takes me on average 45 min. Don't give up years of your life by being heavy. Do this thing! I have never been happier, healthier and confident about myself.....(<:

My husband was scared and mentioned me canceling the surgery. He even mentioned that I could cancel it while we were waiting to be taken to the holding room pre-surgery! It's so hard on them to watch us get all worked up and then hurt. It hurts them to see us in pain. And since most men are 'fixers' and there's nothing here that they can 'fix', they try to help by avoidance.

I went through with my procedure. My hubby has been right by my side for just about everything post-surgery and your hubby will too. He's just having a momentary freak-out.

Thank you everyone. Your words of encouragement are wonderful.

I found out today that to move my surgery to the hospital with my complications was going to be cost prohibitative.

I'm going to try to stick to the diet I've been on for the last two weeks...I've lost 14 pounds doing that. And I've told my husband he has been hired as my new trainer and MY workouts take priority over his!! :thumbup: But if this does not work then I will plan to have the surgery next year.

This site is AWESOME and I'll come back again and again for helpful hints.

Take care.
