What Was Your Final "straw That Broke The Camels Back"
marcossleeve replied to bigjoe102's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm 50 years old, just had the sleeve, on 10/26, I'm so happy, but I know that road ahead won't be easy. The worst think for me, was to ask for an extension on a airplane, I hope to but that behind me. We have to stay strong, in the end of the day, it's all mental. Good luck to you all in this new journey !!! -

It's unfortunate that you husband is an asshole about it ! I did schedule mine ahead of my wife's because she was scare ! I did on 10/26 and she's going on 11/16, she's seeing what I'm going thru and is helping her. He doesn't deserve you, but, put all behind, be strong, stay the course !!! You can do it !!!!!!

Emotional and feeling guilt
marcossleeve replied to alejcerra's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Kudos to you and your husband for the support ! I just had my done, sleeve, 10/26, and I'm felling great, no regrets whatsoever. I'm 50 years old, was 300 pounds, no major health issues, but I was felling down, out of energy, eating like crazy, more and more every day. Ok, just a little be more about my wife and I, she'll be taking the same path I did on November 16. We have 2 kids, now 22 & 25 years old. I did "cheat" by scheduling my surgery ahead of her, because I felt that she was scary of doing that, she got mad at me, but now I see that was the best decision. Lol ! Is just amazing to me that I don't fell like eating !!! I can cook and not even taste the food. You hear some people saying that I shouldn't have done the surgery, but diet and exercise, still they have no idea how hard it is, that's why I didn't say about my decision until I had it done, even my kids, a bodybuilder and a retired Marine, I told them a week prior. Listen, I'm so happy !!!!!! Good luck to you and us all !!! Be well !!! -
