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?

Sorry! It didn't show it posted...now I don't know how to delete them! :-(

My wife is certainly supportive in general, but I'll tell you that this process has been harder on her than me. She's very worried that I'll change, that I'll get 'too skinny,' etc.

Definitely a weird dynamic. The excellent book 'Emotional First Aid Kit: A Practical Guide to Life After Bariatric Surgery' has a lot about this and more. Strongly suggest it.

After I booked and made the deposit my wife said you better not be looking for some one younger after you lose the wieght(she is 8 years older then me), I said I'll be more upset is you leave me for a fat guy. It was all in fun. She has been very suportive and been there every step of the way.

Hehehe... I like that one!! ( by the way I'm 7 years older than my husband)

My wife only worries I'll change and want something different, and each time I just have to take some time and remind her of what we have together and that nothing will ever mean more to me. As far as support, she's been my pillar to lean on through everything it seems. I'm only lucky SOB.

My wife had this done in Sept and is down 75 lbs. She has been pushing me to do it ever since. Now I have a surgery date on the 20th of March.

My wife has been supportive all the way. I think one of her issues is her friends always complimenting me to her as if she doesn't see me everyday. I can notice a slight tendency for her to ask where I'm going more often. Of course she's 100% onboard but I think she now fears of course that other women notice me more also.

You will notice them noticing you more. I am flabbergasted at the young gals who flirt with a 64 year old man such as myself. Fortunately, I have enough in my head and heart to realize what a treasure waits for me at home. She has been with me through hell and back, she's the Audie Murphy of my life. No clear eyed, smooth skinned cutie pie has a chance against her depth of experience and affection. Besides, she looks mighty good to me anyway.

My wife was the textbook definition of supportive. She even went on the 2 week preop diet with me. When I started C25K, she ran with me. I had originally planned for her to see me right after surgery, then go home and pick me up the next day because she had some important meeting to go to. Well, when I came out of surgery, I was 5 years old and needed her there...so she dropped everything and just spent the night in the clothes she had on. She's a trooper. I remember when I was a youngster...being with young doughed girls...none of them ever did for me what she can do. I'm staying put, I don't care who flirts with me. Well...if it's Beyonce, I may have to think about it.
