Hi and welcome! Mine is scheduled for the 9th. Good luck to you!

I am new to the board - just a couple of days and my surgery is 1/28 after two years of trying and going thru red tape. I'm sure it's just nerves or fear with your hubby. I'm sure he'll be very supportive of you when the time comes. He's just have second thoughts like I was when I was in Fresh Market the other day. Hang in there. I read Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies and it was great, I thought. Others may have differing opinions. Two of the things they mentioned were that 1) your spouse may oppose the surgery for fear that you'll look beautiful and they'll lose you or that you'll be smaller and they, if they are now heavy, will still be heavy; 2) that your friends may sabotage you because if you are the heaviest person in your group (work or friends) and you lose the weight you'll be making someone else the heaviest person in the group. Go figure. You're going to do fine and I can't wait to hear how it went. You have one week to go and I have three. It's just not going fast enough!! Terri

My hubby keeps telling me now is not the right time. When would be the right time? When I can't move cause of pain from arthrhitis? Mine has actually gotten more suppotive the closer it gets and I suspect he has even been on here too looking at stuff. I married a stubborn Italian so he will stick to his not now opinion even if he changes his mind. Good luck with everything.

I am having the RNY on the 8th and don't have to do the liquid diet. Good Luck.
