Pookeyism 1,143 Posted December 7, 2012 Hmmm... Toy27, no offense because I know I am horrible speller and my phone is no help, but consider editing that a bit, so we can follow - it will help you get better responses. Are you saying you have no support from who? siblings? children? in your home/outside your home? Hubby doesn't want to miss work and you are the only one with a license? It is going to be hard with or without help. If your husband does nto want to miss work, then suggest to him he has however long till your surgery to make sure he has other arrangements to get back and forth...his responsibility not yours. Now - make you your respnsibility, since it seems no one else is...find a support group, message me here if you would like. God bless, good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sramos89 260 Posted December 7, 2012 If you are overweight and Need this surgery, you are going to have health problems down the road that are going to cause you to miss A LOT of work. If you need this surgery do it now, you will feel so much better and be able to do so much more. You are only restricted from driving until you are off the pain meds. For me that was 3 days from the day of surgery. Good Luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gintobethin 15 Posted December 9, 2012 I just turned 35 on December 7 I had my sleeve on December 5 my husband was really unsupportive but we have to do what we can to feel better about ourselves And become healthier people for our families. If your insurance is approving you and you can do it,do it if your husband Doesn't want to miss work he will find a ride. Sometimes we just have to do what we can and work with what we got. When you have lost all the weight you will not regret it. 4 Laura Craft Anderson, jsunflower2001, nurseghana and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
