Hi All

I'm due to have my pre op appointment next thu and then hopefully have surgery on the 07 April!! After waiting for years it has now come around so fast as I have been offered a cancellation.

I have told a few close friends but have decided my family don't need to know until afterwards (not supportive and don't understand why I don't just eat less)! My husband seems to be saying the right things but hasn't read any of the paperwork I have given him so we will wait and see!

Anyway any advice or tips on the process would be great!

My husband read the paper work, well skimmed through it. So I felt like he wasn't as supportive.. But said he was, So did the rest of my family at first. My husband is still supportive but worries about me.. He didn't show it until we met with the surgeon he had more questions then I did. Lol!!! The rest they aren't as supportive as they were at first. I'm seven months out and I don't care one way or the other. I did it for me not for them if I had to do it over again I wouldn't have told anyone but my husband .. But I don't and it is what it is .. Your husband will come around. You just have to assure him that it won't change you from being the loving wife you are. some women lose weight and change and they start to enjoy other men's attention and makes their husband feel so weak and hurt I've had friends that have done it but I would never disrespect my husband or my marriage in that way some men won't admit that's their fear but it's most likely the cause. I wish you nothing but success in all aspects of your life and can't wait for you to start your WL journey.. Good luck!!!

Thank you.
