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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
