Thanks Sissy! I understand in a sense their side but its so irritating when people assume u r weak .i guess when it comes to food I am! He just isn't open minded to anything he doesn't agree with or understand ..and that is frustrating! I'm hoping when I reach my goal weight oneday when the surgery actually happens he will see me happy !thanks what I'm banking on anyway;-)

I think that anyone who has never struggled with their weight seems to be the most "judgmental".the only people who know I going to do this is my hubby &my oldest daughter ,I am a mom of 4.my daughter is super supportive.My dad would flip..due to worry,my in laws would just tell me how stupid I was..and just lose it naturally..easy comming from a mom n law who has been tiny her whole life.i am 5'8 and never know what it was like to be in her shoes..I just want to be happy and healthy in my own skin without worrying about people's comments ..this is why I have chosen to be selective about who I tell!

I had to attend a seminar my appoint with surgeon is tomorrow..they also require me to go to one support group in which they provide you with a certificate to prove you go.i def.think everyone should go to the seminars they are very helpful.

Lol love this forum!

Ok my husband has somewhat resided to the fact I AM Doing this! Now that I am the insurance provider ..before he was and refused for me to do the surgery..he let me know really quick today I was taking the "easy way out".while I some what understand this mentality ..I just don't understand why he can see how important this is to me? Our marriage in my eyes is secure we have a great and I do mean great relationship .anyone else going or gone thru this?
