pcos_chick 23 Posted October 5, 2012 My suggestion would be to have him check out these boards. My hubbie created a 'secret' account here (as in didn't tell me until later) that it really really helped him with his worries and concerns. It sounds like there is support there and some worry... which is natural. The boards might help ease his concerns and help him voice his support in a more... helpful way.

sunshyneqtie 73 Posted October 17, 2012 I decided to just ask him. He seems to think he will miss it. He may, but he won't miss all that comes with it. Mainly the naps and me being in pain all the time. I had to make sure he knows I am not doing this because I think it will make him happy. I am doing this for me. So I can play with my kids without SOB. So I can catch my daughter if she tries to run out into the street, cause, Man, is she fast....and sneaky! I am doing this so I can keep doing the job that I love, because, right now, It hurts so much and a job higher in management with paperwork and meetings is actually looking good, and I don't want that. I think he just needed to know that if something happens to me during surgery, it's not his fault. He has never said anything negative about my weight in seven years, not even when we fight. (Most of our fights are about me sleeping all the time). In short, even though I don't think he will miss the fatness once its gone, I'm glad he felt the need to tell me he loves me just the way I am. 1 Supersweetums reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone that truly loves you sees past the outer and loves you no matter what, and he obviously does. He will be a good support person through your surgery. My husband and I have been together for almost 14 years, and he also never said anything once about my weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kortolano 100 Posted October 18, 2012 my husband and I are 17 years apart, He is older than me. Before i talked him into having surgery anytime I would talk about it he would say yeah you just want to get skinny so you can find a new man. He would say it jokingly but i think that was a concern for him. One day i finally told him dear if i was going to leave you I would do it skinny or not but I choose to stay with you because I love you. After that he kinda laid off that comment then i started talking about how much better our sex life would be! So now not only am I getting the surgery he is also! Feb 8th can not come soon enough 1 sunshyneqtie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
