Too funny! I know how you feel, except my friend lost 130lbs after we stopped speaking for a few years & she married a pro body builder. I saw her & was like, "heffa!!". I said I was n't going to tell many of my friends & family, but I've been so excited, that I've blabbed it all over the place. Next year, is my 20th hs reunion. I can't wait to see those faces when I step in the place!! Next year, we'll chat & share our stories of how we gave them "fever" with our new bodies! :wink_smile: All the best to you!!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! This really put things into persepctive from me. I can't wait for the day that I can take him to the basketball court & give him a run for his money (even though I'm 5'6" & he's 6'5" )! My husband & I are very much in love & HE is very happy. My desire is to be happy as well, which will in turn help to sustain our happy marriage. Thanks & God bless!

Hello! I'm so excited about the changes that await me in life after having the VSG. My only wish is that my husband would support me, even if he doesn't agree with bariatric surgery. My family & friends, even those that don't agree are still supportive. When I told him I was considering the procedure he got very upset. He said he didn't want me to die on the operating table. Understand that my husband doesn't even like to take an aspirin & he has been physically fit all his life-he used to play semi-pro basketball. When I bring it up in conversation, it immediately goes awry. My husband is dead set on me not getting this surgery because he feels that I haven't done all that I can to try to lose weight on my own. He thinks that I will be more proud of myself if I do it on my own. He's willing to change his eating habits, exercise with me & pray with me to achieve my goal; however, I want the surgery-period point blank. I told him that I would be doing it anyway, but I would love for him to be there to hold my hand before surgery. He said no. My heart is aching because I want to be a good wife & not cause chaos in my marriage, but I know the VSG is the answer to my prayers in ending this 35yr battle. Any suggestions?
