Hello!

My husband was not in favor of surgery at all!! He thought I was fine the way that I was, he enjoyed our dining/ eating lifestyle, and he thought I was too unhealthy for the recovery (fibromyalgia, Migraines, arthritis, etc).

Mine was supportive he said I had to do it for me and that he would be behind me 100% no matter what I chose.

@ Michelle that's great that your husband supported you and the decision you made. I myself have a great husband too who just wants me to with myself (which I'm not) but things

Will get better soon enough.

My husband didn't really want me to have surgery because he thought because I was big no one would be interested in me! Now that I'm "skinny" as people put it he's super jealous and he's scared that I'm going to find someone else....he even made the most rude remark to me last night about my flab and told me that I should find someone on here to be with that way we could be flabby together it really hurt my feelings. So I would say he was supportive about me getting the surgery but not so much afterwards!

Hi Vamp,

That's such a horrible thing he said. But, he probably does not know how to handle his emotions right now. All of this is new to the husbands too.

Vamp I'm so sorry that your husband is so insecure. Sounds like he may need some counseling to deal with your transition.

My fiancé was a little unsure about me doing it till he seen that it was what I really wanted. He has been supportive until we get in a fight and then he isn't always so nice. Why is it the ones we love are the ones who hurt us the most. I think my fiancé is a bit like your husband. He is insecure and won't admit it. My man is getting better I hope yours will too. But know matter how they act we both have to do "us". Good luck:-)

That's not cool Vamp, he needs to get himself right. My husband made comments like if you cheat I'll kill you and him and giggled, or best not go slute with that new body. But we laugh and joke we been married over 15 years. If he dared to say anything negitive to me I'd put him in his place one we been married to long for that crap and it was for better or worse. Honey don't let him bring you down he sounds jealious and he needs to get over himself and treat you like the princess you are and spoil you and enjoy this new body.

Michelle, I saw that you had dr. Patel in London and you are at Lakenheath? I'm scheduled with him for next Thursday! I live in Mildenhall. I'm so scared! Can you email me? I'm having trouble posting on this app. Mandy.itouch@gmail.com

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
