Well my husband at the beginning was not supportive BUT I kept going foward with my plan because it was me with the " weight issue" sometimes ppl can't understand when they are not in your shoes... In your body... You are the one that need the change... If you dnt feel healthy, comfortable with ur self and u r unhappy then you will need this for your OWN GOOD FIRST!!!! I learn my husband was and still is a little bit scare but I am doing this for my health and if h r really loves me and wants to see me better than he just has to support me, he doesn't have to approve my desition But as my husband Support my need! But it has to start with you... If you are confident that this is what you want encouraged you to go foward... But always supervised by doctor and go by instructions. Time Will only tell. But you have motivate your self first hun.
