    My husband had commented before I even had the surgery that he was scared that I would lose the weight and then leave him. He's also mentioned that again recently. I told him that he was stuck with me

Thanks guys! Im so happy I had this surgery done! It has changed my life so much for the better.... can I ask an odd question to people that are post op and married. Has anyone had issues with their spouse? Like my husband is constantly thinking im going to find someone better now that I look better...he's a little insecure but I keep reassuring him that I love him whether im 300 pounds or 160. Someone please tell me this is somewhat normal? Its starting to scare me. I know he isn't like jealous of the way I look because he's small....he weights like 150. So idk what it is.

CONGRATS! You look simply amazing. Thanks for the advice regarding the 5lb weights. That really helps because my problem area is my arms. Thank for the motivation!

Hey Jessica!!!

First of all let me say how awesome you look! You look happy and look like you feel great!

Secondly our stats are pretty spot on to each other. I am 5'8", was 332 when I met my surgeon last August, DOS I was 300 and 3 weeks ago I was 250. So I'm about half way try goal of 165. Surgery was 12/10/12.

Next I wanted to bring up that I'm too having this issue with my husband. He is convinced that I'm going to lose a bunch of weight, get small and super cute and then leave. I too and not sure where this is coming from other than he does realise that I'm more noticeable now to others than I was before.

So i am sure that there is a bit of insecurity there for them. For us who may never or rarely had been "checked out" often are now getting attention. That can be scary I think. I just keep reassuring him I'm not going anywhere and try to be a little more affectionate. I wasn't really affectionate or into sex the last year of our marriage. I was so unhappy and disgusted with myself. I really backed off from him.

He says it jokingly about me leaving him but I know deep down he is serious. But we are working in it.

PM me if you wanna chat more ;-)

Again awesome job!
