Spouse's think that we can just diet, we just need to try harder, just like every one else does. Very few people understand what it is like to be fat & need WLS. If you hear anything about WLS it is bad. Plus your spouse is scared for you. They think it is a big risk. They look up on the internet problems that could happen. My family was not on board with this & my wife & I had a big fight about it. BUT she came around when she saw the pain I was in. My family now knows what a blessing this was. My girls told me they were proud I had the WLS after they saw I was OK. I think the loved ones are more concerned because they love us. So once they see there world have not come to an end & life is better now they will come around. Good luck.

Great stories. I am lucky I don't have any friends. I have been aked "if I was sick",or."I did not know it was you until I heard your voice. "( Do I sound like a mouse or something?) and other comments. But they are good. It's better than being fat. Lost 115 pounds. Blees you all for doing what's good for you.

You are right. I am going through that too. You have cancer? Don't lose anymore weight. You OK? I don't mind. It is better than being the way I was 9 months ago. Skinny is fun. Buying clothes at regular stores. Not pigging out but feeling pig out after I eat. Life is good to us. Thanks for the post!

I wear a 34 waist pants now. I am wearing a large shirt. Now I buy shirts with stripes. But still confused with the pants. Went to buy pants yesterday & for some reason I could not get my mind around I was wearing a 34 inch waist pants. I had to look on my pants I was wearing to verifiy I am wearing a 34 inch waist. But I do not have any problem with underware.
