At first my Hubby was not on board, but now let me tell you he has came full circle! I could not be happier about that. We are self employed so I did tell him no need for him to close down my best friend will take me and call him with updates. I hope your hubby comes around to. You will need him and he will need you. Please let us know how you are doing. I am praying for you and your hubby.

Thank you all for all of the wonderful replies. My surgery went off without a hitch. I had to stay the night because my surgeon does it that way but it went well. I was up and driving the night nurses crazy...LOL. One nurse even said she was gonna buy me some marathon tennis shoes because I had a path worn in the hallway from all the walking. My hubby has made a full circle and I believe his lack of support was due to worry and nothing more. He called me in pre- op and asked me if I wanted him to come to the hospital and I told him no...LOL. Now that I am home, he can't do enough for me and has even started talking about his own need to eat healthier and how this will be good for him too.

I am having a bit of trouble with the gas pain thing but he bought me some gas-X earlier and that seems to help with the discomfort in that area. I'm just taking the healing one day at a time. Supposed to go back to work on Sunday night ( I work midnights) but I think I will take an extra day on that.

I love this site and all of the help it offers. It really helps that most everyone is or has gone thru the same things and are so kind and willing to offer advice. Thanks bunches. :)

I just knew your Hubby would come through for you. Most of them just do not want us to know how they worry about us. I am set for May 3 so please keep us updated. I am happy to know you are doing ok.

Maybe he was scared about you having to have elective surgery... and that was his way of showing his fear? Now that you have had the surgery, his fears are gone and he can be supportive and show his true emotions :)

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
