I think you should encourage your wife to attend a seminar or support group with you. Once she really understand the procedure and what's involved she might look at it differently. It's great that you are taking the extra step to try and convince your partner. Most people that don't have a weight problem think you can just push back from the table, eat smaller portions, exercise a bit and lose the weight but it does not work that way. Tell your wife you are going to have the surgery because it will make you feel better about you. Tell her you need her by your side to support you through this challenging time. You want her to excercise with you so that you can grow older together and enjoy life like it's suppose to be with a couple. I wish you much success. I have not been band but I am going through the procedures now. It sure makes it easy to have a supporting spouse. My spouse is not overweight but he has seen what it's done to me. Enjoy your journey. I pray that your wife comes around.
