Err...IT will be fabulous, although I hope to be fabulous as well

I told me husband last night that kaiser called and gave me a surgery date. I told him it was important for him go support me and it would be hard for me to do it alone. He asked that I try for one more year to lose weight on my own. He then told me I don't need it and he loves me the way I am. I told him I have arthritis in my back and ankles' date=' pre diabetic, sleep apnea and jst tired all the time.

We left it at that and I wouldn't say he gave me the silent treatment but it was yes and no answers for the remainder of the evening.

About 3 in the morning I woke up and I could tell he was awake. He then asks me ..... How long after the surgery am I gonna leave him. Really???? Why does he always have to make it about him????[/quote']

Men I swear. I think he just doesn't understand fully what this means to you and how it will make both of your lives better. Men most always need reassurance, especially when they are used to things being a certain way. Maybe give him a little time and try a different approach. When my hb gets insecure about something Im doing I just list out the pros and cons, am honest about what the challenges might be, and remind him he fell in love with a strong willed, stubborn woman who in turn, fell in love with him back. Oh, and at some point I usually tell him not to be such an ass, lol.

Good luck and congrats!

Congrats to you all and feel free to join our January dates (pre-op) and January 2013 (post-op) threads. Many of us follow the group before us as well, it's helpful to see what others have been/go through, how they handle things and sometimes just get additional support.

It feels so good to finally see my name listed!! Thanks for starting our Feb thread and keeping the list updated. I was not brave enough to start it nor think I could keep up with the list. Thank you, thank you!!

I get more and more...stunned, for lack of a better word, with each passing day and every hurdle I have cleared. I can't help but to compare it to my pregnancy. I had a pretty good idea what to expect and time to prepare, and by those last few weeks, I wanted to get the messiness over and get on with it. I just got my FMLA approval papers from the Dept of Labor, and the last thing before surgery- meetings with the doctor and nutritionist on January 22.

I'm not ashamed to admit I'm scared of the surgery and that I might not be up to the challenge. I know I can do it, but scared nonetheless. I just wish I could sleep better lately. Been waking up and panicking!

This should pass!

Lol it wasn't really intentional I was just talking....then once people started telling me there dates I figured what the heck!!! Plus it gives me something to do!!!! I see the doc Tuesday and hopefully will feel like we're rolling after that! While I'm thrilled I don't have to redo the classes and such, at list it gave me something to work towards building up to the big day the first time!

If any of you aren't reading them already, the January pre and post-op threads are a wealth of information! Everything from pre-op testing to 'OMG I'm a week post op and haven't lost anything' plus lots of talk on diets, exercise,pooping, etc. it's worth your time to check em out!
