I am going to my first appt with the surgeon on 6/13/14, I told my husband I would give their weight loss program a try first. He thinks WLS is WAY too drastic and I should be able to just not eat so much and lose weight. Also he thinks I would defeat the surgery because as in his words "Nothing gets in the way of you and food!!" I'm 5'4" and my highest weight was 328, my CW is 301. I can lose using MyFitnessPal and jounaling every bite I eat, but I'm fighting hunger and cravings all the time and eventually the hunger wins. Has anyone else had issues with a spouse and what did you do to convince them? I just don't want to do something that he is totally against.

My husband didn't want me to have surgery at all because any surgery can be dangerous. I gave him a few weeks to adjust to the idea and then approached the idea again. The bottom line is that it is my body, my choice and I expect support. My husband has risen to the occasion and has educated himself. He's still worried but is also supportive. I'm thankful for that.

You are right it is your body that I wished I would've listen to my husband when he said he wasn't comfortable with the surgery mine didn't turn out so great was in the hospital for four months and I'm still recovering and is been hell and listen to him they love us for who we areif I could get one advice would be to be comfortable with who you are because he is
