  1. The Journey Begins

    · katieataman · 08/08/2010 04:36

    So I have started my pre-surgical diet. I am struggling a little bit with it but so far I am being good. My insurance turned me down for the surgery, so American Express and I will be paying for the surgery. I am tired of living in an uncomfortable body and the constant ups and downs of weight loss. Hopefully this tool will help me to have a healthy weight.
     
    Maybe some of you have this experience. My husband and his whole family are of healthy or even thin weights. My family is pretty much the opposite. Several years ago I mentioned the possibility of have WLS to the husband and he scoffed and said it was for "lazy" people. Of course he can say this while eating a piece of cheesecake with a straight face. I love the guy but he is a little clueless. This discouraged me for a long time, but finally I decided to go for it with or without his support. So I went through the entire pre-op procedures without even telling him a word about it. And my procedure is scheduled for next week on Thursday. He still has no clue. Everyone else knows. My mother is coming with me to the surgery. I am in fact leaning to not even telling him until I am good and ready. What do you think? Considering he was not supportive before and I don't feel I need his permission to take care of my own health. Though I will admit I feel a little nervous about it, I am sure he will love the results.
