She had to drive herself.

Hats off to the woman for doing what she hadda do inspite of her hubby's behavior. Fear has many faces and he sounds fearful. I wonder if he is mainly worried about her health? Doubt it because thats why we get our surgery. Money? Angry she can't just "snap out of it" and diet and exercise? Amazing. I have people who have seen me try everything from pills to expensive diets (y'all know the etc.s) for over 15 years and still just say "couldn't you have just exercised and dieted?" I tell them food can be an addiction. Genes play a huge role. blah blah blah, it gets old.

I think there is some big trouble in their marriage. Hopefully her future weightloss will enable her to get through the obvious issues they have.

BUT I just have to say, it isn't all that hard to do this alone. Only one person (my secretary) knew about my surgery because I had to list someone in case of an emergency, but I just told my family and other co-workers I was going to visit a friend for a few days. I took a cab to the Amtrak station, got picked up by Dr Otiz office in San Diego, went to TJ and stayed in the hotel all by myself. I was feeling good enough to go home the day after the surgery so went back to the train, took a cab from the depot home and everything was fine.

I told my teenage son that I live with after the fact, but no one else in my family knows and only a very few friends. It's been over a year now and keeping it to myself was one of the smartest things I've ever done.
