The question is what do you want. This does not sound like love. My husband doesn’t want me to have this either- he has many reasons. He has been tremendously supportive though because it is my body and my life. If your husband says he will leave, let him leave. This might be emotionally hard for you at first, but take care of yourself. This is your life and you only get one. You are not ugly-Love yourself and be positive. Life is so short and I know you know this. There can be complications with this surgery, but chances are small. If you follow doctors orders, you will do great. Sounds like you don’t feel so well now- your body is becoming a complication now so take care of yourself,please love yourself, and if you want this you can have this. You are worth it. I am due to have my surgery February 7th and hope you will join all of us on May 8th with your journey. Good luck!

Congrats Seahawks fan!!!! I wish you all the luck in the world.

I am having my insurance cover it, but depending on your credit you could get a personal loan at your bank. If your credit isn’t the best, try One Main Financial, family, saving up little by little, or the surgeons office should have care credit. You could also look into a hospital and see the financial department and see what they can do. If you really need this surgery, they might be willing to help you. If you own a home, you could take out a home equity loan. I am sure there is a way. In the mean time, keep your head up high, keep dieting, and keep trying.

I agree. I am really active now , but am hopeful to be even more post surgery. Thanks for the ideas!

Thanks you too keep up the work. I have equipment at home that gets used. I like the idea of involving the family that way it doesn’t feel like a work out, plus keeps the kiddo away from those electronics.

Just had my pre-op class this week, I had gained a couple of pounds. I did eat things I shouldn’t have during the holidays, but I am back on a routine. Surgery date is 2/7/18 and I am super excited,scared,emotional...... our program says that you can only be within a 5 lbs of your pre-op goal weight. I wish you all the luck in the world and think you will be fine just do better this week. Remember take it day by day.
