after researching and reading the pros and cons, and going back and forth on my decision, I have decided I am going to do this! Get the Slimband (canada company) This week I am going to work out the money aspect and then I am moving forward with this decision, I am ready to do the work and I have faith that this is what has been missing over my 25 year battle with my weight!!!

I love this forum and it has been my support as I make this decision, My hubby is being quiet on this one. not supportive or discouraging, Just quiet..... anyone else have this experience with their spouse??

My husband was quiet while I did the research but once I made up my mind, he was behind me 100%. The closer it got to surgery, the more excited he got. Then when I had my surgery (4 days ago), he has been an angel. He helped me at the hospital, helped me in the car, kept checking on me and kissing me on the forehead when we got home. Helped me out of bed. Did the laundry, vacuumed, went grocery shopping, and cooked his own meals the first few days. Now all he keeps talking about is how he can't wait to buy me a whole new wardrobe when I get to where I want to be. I am also 12 lbs down from when I started my pre-op diet and every pound I tell him I have lost, the more he cheers and tells me what a great job I am doing. Maybe yours will get more on board now that you have made the decission. I know it was hard for my husband to talk to me about the fact that my weight bothered him because he said he loves me so much and didn't want to hurt my feelings. I didn't like the weight on me either but was just sick of trying on my own. Hope that helps.

thanks for the response! I never thought of his "silence" as his way of letting me make the decision. Of course he is concerned about the whole thing, but he has also watched me do plan and after plan, lose the weight and put it back on. He knows how much of a struggle it is for me. I am working on the money aspect tomorrow and then I think hubby and I need to sit down and talk it out. I hope he follow your hubby's example and gets 100% behind me. I am going to need his support. But I also know that I am confident in my decision and ready to do this and do the work involved. It is such a journey already. It is always on my mind, and I always find myself coming here to read everyone's stories and get an idea of what lies ahead for me.

I know most of you are from the US, but any Canada Slimbands or Alberta people out there, love to hear from you!
