Awe thats so sweet, who knows someday my husband may end up having one him self. Since we have had two children together he gained weight right along with me ! He used to be very buff and in shape. I was always large. That is awesome and congrats to the both of you ! Now you will both be happy and healthy!

I had jokingly said that I am going to be one of those wives that does a reverse in my wedding photos instead of me being young and skinny in mine I would be young and chubby and then reverse over time and become skinny instead of like most who gein weight. I just have to think positive and not let this get me down. My aunt went through something like this but it was after her wls her husband and teenage son had starting making fun of her overweight self after she had lost her weight. It was something that hurt her very badly because she had learned the truth of what everyone was thinking. I guess in a way I would rather know the truth then to learn it later. I am glad for everyone mostly having supportive husbands. I showed him some of your before and after pictures and he was amazed that this isnt a joke this changes peoples life for the better.

We were having a really stupid argument and we have had them before and he had never said anything like that before. It wasnt until reciently that he has known how important it was to me to get this surgery Iv been talking about it but once I had found out aht I had alot of health issues that were related to my weight did I really get seirous and start moving forward on the process. I dont know if he really wanted to hurt me or if he didnt think before he said it. This morning he woke me up before he left for work and told me he was very sorry and would never say something like that again and that he thinks I am sexy no matter what size I am. I will just beware and if it happens again weather its a comment of my weight or something else I wont stick around in a enviroment thats unhealthy for me and my children.

Thank you, I know he has gained alot of weight since we have been together he used to be Mr. fitness I was always big. I dont know if the anger behind it was that maybe he resents me because I am going through this and he knows I will be losing weight and he had gained weight since us being together and now needs to lose again. I guess maybe it would be a good idea to try to get him in on it too and involve him more and get on track together as a couple.

I know its going to be hard work. I think thats where alot of people go wrong with this surgery is they think its going to be simple and they regret having it and end up having a really rough time and regret having the surgery. I talked with my husband last night and he wants me to try the band and if it doesnt work which I know it will because I am determined to get healthy, then it just wasnt ment to be. I need to get this weight off I have osteo arthritius in my knees and I would like to have another child after losing the weight I had gestational diabeties and dont want to go through that again and that makes my chances higher of having type 2. I am pretty sure my mind is set on the band. Did you know that the band was what you wanted when you went to talk to the surgeron ??

My biggest thing is that I am afraid with the band that I have read alot of people either gaining back the weight or very slowly and then coming to a hult. I have alot of weight I need to lose. I just dont know how I feel like you had said about losing a large portion of my stomache forever. I have my appointment to meet with the Dr. on the 22nd I will talk with her then to see what my best choice will be. I just wanted some feed back from people also who have had this surgery already.
