First Consult! Husband jumping the supportive ship...



Recommended Posts

Your husband needs to attend as many visits with you as he can, so he has a chance to ask questions and get educated about the procedure. You being over weight is just as much of a risk and you are doing this to improve your life and be around longer.

I want to be sleeved and when I read these posts I get a bit freaked. Been to seminars, met doc, waiting on psych evaluation. Like you I can make impulsive decisions. I told Dr on Thursday if we can get it done around 10/10 unfortunately (or fortunately) I have to wait for available psyche til 10/28. This will probably drag out til Jan. I have my own biz and need to be in good health for thanksgiving and Xmas when we are busy. I think a lot like your hubby and just the thought of something going wrong scares me. It is a MAJOR surgery. I love good nutrition, no fast food, processed or chemicals and the idea of having to take supplements and Vitamins forever is another worry. I take some now but not necessary like with surgery. The bottom line in the long run is learning to stick with Portion Control and this is another tool. Seeing so many gain back so much weight is my other concern. So much to think about.

Thanks Christinamo7 I don't have an husband but an adult son who has been to support sessions with me. Better cause he isn't critical like his late Dad would have been. He said go ahead and live him for it.????????

So I feel like I went through something similar. My husband wanted me to wait as well. I am currently scheduled for Oct 6th. My concerns that I voiced to him were that at the moment I do not have any Co-Morbidies like diabetes or heart disease. However, in one year it's very likely that I would which would in turn create more problems. As you said you are scared your health may change if you do not do something now. He won't truly understand that part of it. But do your best to put his mind at ease. Show him success stories and before and after pics. Watch YouTube videos of people's stories. All of this might help.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
