Plastic surgery

Has anyone’s spouse been unsupportive of plastic surgery?

My husband is on board with plastic surgery as long as our insurance will cover it. I'm hoping to have it by next summer. I am 11 months post-surgery and have lost 116 lbs and want to lose 18 more pounds.

No coverage here for plastic surgery unless extremely medically necessary

Well the first round my spouse was supportive. Fairly so when I had my arms done. By round 3 thigh lift he dropped me off at the hospital and I had a private duty nurse for a few days. The last one there were complications and he came through bringing me back to the doc, the ER and running to the pharmacy. ... overall I suppose he has been supportive if not for the last Surgery - he is my emotional rock. He is awesome and clearly does not fully understand but does except. He was less understanding of the WLS which was very very scary for him. As for the money aspect... I used mostly the money allocated for my extra expenses. All said it was the price of a car. I do not think my spouse ever fully understood how uncomfortable it was for me physically. I spread the surgery out over three years and you better believe he has a new car.

      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.

        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.

      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!
