What to do when your husband is against surgery?

[sexylips 1]

I understand how you feel because my husband was the same way. But I did it anyway because I needed to do it for myself. He is still not very supportive. The only support I really get is here on the boards. I guess that's why I stay on here all the time, lol. My advice to you is to do it anyway. No, it will not be easy afterwards if he is like my husband and still not very supportive. But it will all be worth it.

me too all these wonderfull people have been my support thank god for them.....

hi, all!

Any advice for me? My husband is dead set against me getting a lap band, for all the typical reasons: surgery is dangerous, I will cheat, I will be miserable, blah blah blah. Do I try to convince him, or just go with my instincts and have the band? He said he will support me, whatever my decision. I have no idea how to proceed. Right now I am scheduled for a consultation and have requested the paperwork from doctors for insurance.

Thanks for reading my post!

Tell him that you stand a MUCH greater chance of risk from obesity than you will surgery.

He can't be totally dead set against it if he said he will support you.

It's really a matter if you are ready or not. Perhaps he feels you are not ready to totally change your eating habits and such?
