I read many, many threads about women who are sleeving and have to deal with jerk, non-supportive, insecure, namby-pamby, crybaby husbands.

I am just curious.......... any of you men have non-supportive wives?

I found and read the thread that our honorary guest, Laura, referred to. It is :http://www.verticals...9;t supportive

It is an excellent thread on the subject. After reading that thread I almost wished I had posed this question in the general area. The women gave such insightful answers. Hey guys, OK if we throw this open to the ladies?

That might have been the thread I started a while back. My wife was being a real beech about it in a very passive aggressive way. When I was work hard to get the pre-op weight down, she would actually sit down in front of me (away from our dining room) and eat. She had had RNY about 7 years ago and had put back on almost all of her weight. So I think that had a lot to do with it. Generally she's kinda supportive. She cooks more for our kids than anything, but I have no problem making my own food and I think that pisses her off to a degree. If she makes something that I can't or don't want, I just make my own. I haven't let it get to me, I've pretty much tuned her out. But now that I am 3 months out she seems to be getting on board more. In fact she's started working out and seeing a nutritionist, but that has more to do with her, not really me. So who knows......

I agree with what was said on the other thread...maybe she's feeling insecure & afraid what might happen when your looking & feeling good! I know many years ago when I lost over 100 lbs & my husband started losing too..I became insecure & jealous! I would try & sabotage his weight loss by making his fav meals, etc. It was my problem...not his! Now we are both on this journey again....me sleeved & he trying on his own...but I feel totally different this time & we support each other. Maybe if you assure her how much you love her & talk about all the things you two will soon be able to do TOGETHER....she will get on board. Good luck on your journey!

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
