Wow. I'm so sorry you have to deal with his issues on top of your own. The truth is, if he doesn't support this he isn't supporting you. Have you spoken to him about WHY he doesn't want you to have it? If it we're me, I'd have the surgery. You need support and compassion from your spouse and for whatever reason he can't give you that. You deserve it. You deserve to be healthy and happy. Anyone that doesn't want that for you, or threatens divorce because you want to be healthy is severely misguided. You need to make this choice for you and only you. And don't ever tolerate anyone calling you fatass. Being your husband does not give him the right. Best wishes.

Oh my! That is awesome and exactly where I want to be in 4 years. Can you give me an idea of what your post-surgery diet is like. Fo you exercise? Congratulations! That gives me hope.

Kakatlady- thank you for the info. It sounds like it's been a rough road for you. Did you have to go through the 6 months of weight loss prior to surgery? The thought of that is frustrating. I've been trying to lose weight for 5 years already! That should count! I wish you the best with your surgery and journey!

That's awesome Jersey girl. I still have plenty of time to consider the sleeve but from what I've read the RNY will be better for me. I hope you'll keep updating and sending you good luck!

That's awesome info, thank you. I just got my referral Monday so now the Bariatric office is doing a chart review of my medical records and will hopefully schedule my first visit which is the Psych eval. My bmi is 40.2 and my insurance, Tricare, doesn't require any comorbidities above 40 and only 1 for 35-40. I had a sleep study last year and all it showed was insomnia but I didn't sleep much. My dad and brother both have sleep apnea. I'm looking at the RNY Gastric bypass. I know it's a process but I'm excited. Good luck with your surgery. I wish you the best!

Hi all. I just started researching bariatric surgery options and I was hoping to hear what your process has been from deciding to have surgery, pre-requisites to having surgery, why you chose your type of surgery, how long the pre-surgery process is... Any and all information is appreciated.
