My husband is awesome
I see a lot of sad posts about things not going so great in their marriage after WLS. I wanted to post good post about my husband. He has never, ever made me feel less than sexy - even when I was at my highest weight and lowest emotions. The night before surgery he came to me in bed and hugged me with tears in his eyes. He told me I did not have to do this - that he loves me just the way I am. I was so touched, even though he knows it wasn't about my looks - it was still a sweet thing to say. He has been very supportive of everything, kept me on track and reads the hand outs from my Surgeon religiously to make sure I am doing what I am supposed to. We are financially strapped right now, and even though insurance covered most of it - he did not hesitate to let me go through with this and the added expenses. WLS has not changed our relationship, and I am glad - because I would not change a thing.

That's great to have support.I have the support of my husband also. And he has paid for everything for myself in the tune of close to 15k. He tells me also that he loves me just the way I am. I look at myself and wonder how he can love someone that is nearly 400#. He is amazing!!! Glad that you have an amazing husband also. But I feel for the ones that are having a hard time with their loved ones no supporting them.
Soooo happy to read another good WLS/relationship post. I'm getting sleeved mon, and my husband has been doing the same thing. (Telling me I don't need to, loves me the way I am, etc). It's very sweet.
His most recent antics are to come up from behind, grab a boob in each hand, and start begging (to the girls).. "please don't go, I'm going to miss you!" Same thing with the butt... a cheek in each hand pleading, "don't leave me, we've had so many good times together!"
LOL... but it does feel good to be loved.

Your hubby sounds like mine! I'm truly blessed to have a wonderful supportive husband. He's actually going through the same thing (he'll be having surgery 6 weeks after me), but I was afraid he wouldn't be on board. I thank God for my hubby every single day (although he's pretty damn blessed to have me, too! ).
That's a wonderful feeling!
My husband is the same, he worried for me and my health quietly, never a critical comment about my size or habits ever.. and when I decided enough was enough, despite no longer having a job- he was very supportive of dipping into our next house fund to pay for surgery. I was the one that wavered- he's the one that told me having the material things meant nothing if I was too sick to enjoy them with him..
He has been 100% supportive, over and above supportive actually. Things have only improved since and I'm looking forward to the future now instead of fearing it. We've been together for 13 years, all of them happy. I feel like I'm slowly peeling back the layers and becoming who I used to be when we first met. I wasn't small, but I was a curvy healthy girl. He deserves an active partner, I'm just overjoyed to be able to turn back the clock a little..
Sorry for the cheese, I don't get a chance to really talk about this too much with anyone..
