April is coming at us fast
Hi - time does seem to drag before surgery doesn't it.
Suggest you don't tell the surgeon you can do your own - I mentioned to mine that surgery had taken a long time (6 hours as their were some complications) and compared it jokingly to the ten minute clip I had seen on YouTube - he didn't seem that inpressed !
Take Care

I'm so nervous I could puke. A miscommunication between hubby and I, I realize he is WAY more not into this as I thought. I thought he was coming around and he is REALLY not. Basically even told me to stay at my mom's after the surgery (he doesn't want to take care of me). I told him there is no way I'm not staying with my kids after being away for 10 days. I've never been away from them more than 4 days. If I knew he was THIS against, I'm not sure I would have gone this far. I'm really hoping I'm one of those people on the board that wishes they did this years before. God I hope so!
Emily,
I feel so bad for you. You need your husband and kids when you get home. I don't want you to get depressed. You and I both have Bipolar Disorder and I know an episode can be triggered. It happens to me a lot.
Please please don't give up on your surgery. I am 54 and after so many years of obesity my body is falling apart. Take care of this when you are younger and you won't be worried about a heart attack, stroke, diabetes, joints that are falling apart, incontinence, gallbladder decease, peripheral nerve pain, decreased lung volume, high cholesterol, joint arthritis and a lot more stuff.
I can't pick up my 6 month old granddaughter. Do this for your future, your husband's, your children and your future grandchildren.
I haven't told my son because he is such a pessimist. He wouldn't be afraid for me he would just think of horrible things to say to me. My 3 daughters live near by and only one supported me. I gave the other 2 an ultimatum and they could support me or my WLS was not open to discussion.
I SUPPORT YOU ALL THE WAY GIRL!!!!!!!!!!

Dear cneclevenger,
My husband supports me 100% but other family members very close to me are not so supportive; they are afraid that I will be trading one condition (obesity) for one more complicated or debilitating. I know how you feel but don't give up; be selfish for once and do this because YOU want to do it. Like my family members, your husband must be afraid of what could happen to you and rejecting the idea is the only way he can express his concerns. His support is very important for your recovery, so talk to him and discuss why he is against it...you might find out that he is just as worried, apprehensive and perhaps nervous as you are and that he loves you a lot more than you know.
Stay positive! We are here for you my friend!
