Wow! Thanks for all the replies! This is some great info! She is still 5 months away from getting the surgery but I've already started to talk about it. I've started letting her know I support her decision and would like to maybe go to some of the support group meeting with her. But i'm trying not to sound too pushy. I've also said maybe I should take the week off when she has the surgery. I was told "do whatever you want". She said she can take care of herself. She's told me in the past i'm not supportive enough when she needs it but then she always does this. Oh well, I'll go to some meetings with her, I'll take the week off with her, and I'll try to just make things easier for her when the time gets here. I will not be over bearing. I'll listen and only give advice if I think she really wants it. Thanks again and keep the advise coming!

Hi everyone, My wife will be getting a sleeve this year. For those of you that have gone through this or are going through it. What do you wish your significant other knew or did to support you? What did they do or what did you wish they did to make this easier for you. I want to be there for her every step of the way but she seems to have a hard time talking about feelings and what she needs. I'm a man not a mind reader. So i'm hoping you can help me to understand what she may need and what she will be going through. I know this can be different for everyone, but any insight will help. I hope. Thanks!
