Way to go Katie keep it up

Ask your husband to go with you to all your doctor appointments and he will learn along with you. Then he will be behind you 100% Good luck

So you husband wants you unhappy and unhealthy. Wow what love he has for you. And I'm sure he does love you and is some what scared of what he does not understand. My wife and daughter & son are more excited about the life change then i am . And can't wait to have a skinny daddy. And a health daddy that will be around for a long time. "Be positive you are doing the right thing "

I love this forum now I know what I will be going though in 40 days and counting. Hope you fell better soon.

Just think of it as a head start on what you need to lose and good luck with your surgery

The 2nd was the Endocopy for this surgery.being a big bad ass truck driver it scares the crap out of me.All I can think of is what IF.but know everything will turn out fine. Thanks to this forum. I have been reading all the post.And everyone here make this a lot more easy to take. THANK YOU It can't come fast enough at 51 I have been a type 2 diabetic for all most 30 years. My doctor says I should be on a insulin pump the oral med are not working any more and no new one are on there way.If I do insulin I can't drive Becuse of DOT rules I have been a truck driver for 34 years this is why my doctor is pushing gastric bypass even though I'm only 100 lbs over what ever they want to call it.
