hi, all!

Any advice for me? My husband is dead set against me getting a lap band, for all the typical reasons: surgery is dangerous, I will cheat, I will be miserable, blah blah blah. Do I try to convince him, or just go with my instincts and have the band? He said he will support me, whatever my decision. I have no idea how to proceed. Right now I am scheduled for a consultation and have requested the paperwork from doctors for insurance.

Thanks for reading my post!

Tell him that you stand a MUCH greater chance of risk from obesity than you will surgery.

He can't be totally dead set against it if he said he will support you.

It's really a matter if you are ready or not. Perhaps he feels you are not ready to totally change your eating habits and such?
