Happy Birthday, sleeve sister.

Well, today is my 56th birthday and it's the happiest one I've had in some time. There are 53 pounds less of me and I know that this time, they are never coming back. I had my surgery on July 28 th of this year and I'm only 3 months out, but I'm rocking my sleeve and the future is bright.. What a blessing to have this chance at a new relationship with food and to regain my health. Has it been easy, nope. Has it been worth it, more than I can say. Good luck to us all!

Hi, Sonjajade
I too looked into WLS for awhile before finally making the decision to commit- partly because I had insurance that wouldn't cover WLS when I began looking and partly because of other major life events that always required me to put my wishes on the back burner. When I finally decided that it was truly the option for me, nothing was going to stop me- not being in the middle of a nasty divorce, not caring for my beloved mother or special needs daughter, I was finally ready to take care of me, and the sleeve surgery made all the sense in the world to me.
Now I'm almost 3 months out, 50 pounds down and happier than I've been in a long time for a lot of reasons. I'd try to talk to your husband to see what he is truly worried about regarding WLS, research it like crazy(this website is a great tool) and use the 6 months pre op to see if YOU are ready for this major lifestyle change. It has to feel right to you. Good luck no matter what decision you make.

What you have been sharing about your personal life with us is one more of the first steps that, at least to me, shows you are serious about this. The other is that you are doing well on your pre-op diet. These are the stepping stones that lead you down the yellow brick road to success. I too, needed the support of my husband that just was not there. Not as opposed as your husband seems to be...however...I just went ahead and did it. Although I have a little more to go, I am close to 100 pounds down. My serious health issues have greatly improved or dissolved. I go to the YMCA and am doing Water aerobics, cardio, beginning Zumba, and am learning to swim. I walk every day. I FEEL FANTASTIC!!! and darlin' YOU WILL TOO. I predict that as the pounds melt away, so will his displeasing attitude. I will leave you with this: I feel like I have come out of a 40 year cocoon, and I am feeling SO alive at 55. ((hugs))
