I can understand your fear and concern. I can also sympthazie with your predictment. I would love to have the surgery, but money and insurance will not allow. I believe though if you fear the surgery and are concerned get a second opinion. Not all procedures are good, or bad. Maybe, you can still loose the weight without the surgery. Weigh out all your options then make a decision based upon what is best for you and your husband. You have a wonderful husband who loves you and will stick by you, love yourself also. Weight does not make you less likable or more likable. It is hard being overweight because of the health issues. Take the time you need to make the right decision for you. This decision affects you the most and you will have to live with it. :glare:
