Moving forward & husband back on board

[Smdnght28 69]

I sat down with my husband and told him my fears about my health and really why I needed this surgery and now he's back on 100%. He's even asking questions more and seems more interested in the surgery. I'm so excited for whats to come. My psych evaluation and nutrition appointment is coming in two weeks!! I've started back at the gym I'm already feeling my confidence coming back up

Good for you!

It blows my mind when I read all of these posts about husbands/wives/boyfriends/partners/etc. being anywhere from unsupportive to outright mean and hateful. I cannot imagine not supporting my partner in an endeavor to improve his health. I get that some people have a lot of insecurities, but what does it about that person (or the state of the relationship) when a good thing gets this kind of reaction??

@bilzair09 I think for my husband he was scared of the idea of them removing a portion of my stomach and the future of us having kids.

I'm so glad you sat him down and now he's on board. And it is good he is asking questions and educating himself. Sounds like he is going to be a good support system for you

Those are real reasons to have a conversation. My post was more of a commentary on the many (and I mean many) threads on here where people's partners are downright awful to them when they are just trying to make a positive step forward with their health and well-being.
