Why would YOU feel disrespected? I wasn't aware that someone else's choices related to being healthy have anything to do with you? You have different bodies, different life experience. Just curious. I feel like he's cheating the process of losing the weight, like he just needs to work harder or needs to find more will power to correct his diet. He gets jealous of my achievement and wants the same thing right now. I feel like him doing it by surgical means would diminish how hard I had to work at losing the weight. I don't feel he at all meets the medical criteria that I would recommend this to a patient.

My spouse wants to have the surgery, and I'm sturggling to support his decision. I know he needs to lose weight for his health but as a medical student I know the risks. I also lost 100lbs with diet and excercise, so I feel really disrespected by his choice to do this. I know it's not an easy way out, and I know I should support him but I just can't find it within myself to do it.
