    chad.vicious got a reaction from Texasmeg in my boyfriend doesn't approve of the surgery   
    Hello everyone. So a lot has happened since I made this thread. My boyfriend and I are on wonderful terms and he understands why I need the surgery. We had a heart-to-heart a few nights ago and we're finally on the same page. He understands he overreacted but he was scared. Scared of losing me while under the knife or losing me after I lost the weight. Either way, I let him know that I'll always be here for him and I wouldn't leave him if I lost a significant amount of weight. He also feared I'd leave him if he gained weight while I lost it. I wouldn't throw away a year and a half of us being together for something silly like that. Thank you all for the support you've shown me. By the way, my surgery date is August 12, 2014

    Thanks for all the support, everyone. You guys are great. So we kinda talked it over and he was hesitant, but he said if my PCP is on board and if I see a therapist and he/she is on board, then he'll be okay with it. I haven't been to therapy in 3 years but I found myself a therapist and start sessions on Wednesday. I hope she sees that I need this as a tool to help me save my life. I don't want to prematurely lose my life as a result of obesity and diabetes.
    My boyfriend's brother passed away 7 years ago when he went into a diabetic coma. I know he wants me to be safe and he's scared I could never wake up from the operating table but I've reassured him that this isn't a new surgery. Doctors have perfected it and specialize in this stuff.
    My PCP is already on board and I'm gonna start therapy next week. I hope he sticks by my side through the process. If not, that's fine, but I'm not gonna let anyone hold me back from achieving my goals. He really is the sweetest guy and we're planning a future together but I don't want the future shortened by something that could be fixed by the sleeve. He's coming around, I think. I mention it now and he's not so defensive.
    We have friends who have had the sleeve done and gastric bypasses. They all look incredible now. I guess we both have a lot to think about.

    At 377 pounds my penis was a JOKE. It looked like a stinking turtlehead. When you lose the weight you lose the fat around your penis which allows it to appear longer. Not only that blood flow down there works a heck of alot better when your healthy and thin so you gain a little there just because your a ROCK HARD stallion. Now that I got my Tummy Tuck and removed a large portion of my pubic mound with all the extra skin I am actually HUNG. Its AMAZING I TELL YOU. You definately gain inches. Enjoy looking forward to your bigger penis!

    Ahhh "The Easy Way Out" syndrome.
    Yeah, tell them they need to go on a 2 week liquid diet, followed up by removal of 80% of their stomach, recover from surgery, start working out, figuring out how to eat with 80% of their stomach all while addressing food addiction and emotional problems.
    Yeah, it's the easy way out...
    Or maybe respond with something like, "That moment when you realize you thought you had a real friend then realize they judge a decision you made to better and prolong your life...CRUSHED."

    chad.vicious got a reaction from woo woo in my boyfriend doesn't approve of the surgery   
    I believe he is Mr. Right and hopefully not Mr. Right Now. I've always dated women and he's the first man I've ever been with. He's open minded about many things (gay marriage, abortion, medicinal marijuana, although neither of us smoke) but surgery is one thing he's always been against. Even before I told him about the sleeve, he's never been on board with it. He's an amazing man, a hard worker, trustworthy, loyal, faithful, and he tells it like he sees it. I respect his opinion fully, but this is my decision to get the surgery. I want to live a longer life and I want to have him in it.
    I agree, him saying that he'd end it if I get the surgery is immature of him. I know it comes from a place of concern and perhaps even a bit of insecurity. Since getting together we've each gained 40 lbs but since being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes I've changed my eating habits. Yesterday I told him I lost a couple of pounds and he made a similar remark saying "You see? You don't need the surgery." That comment pissed me off but I pretended not to hear it.
    I love him to death but nobody is going to stop me from bettering myself and getting my second chance at life. I'm in an awkward place though because losing him will be very painful, but the more I think of it, the more I'm preparing myself to let him go. I just hope he comes around. Thanks for all the support, guys.
