May 21st is my day!

I'm very happy. I received a voice mail from my surgeon's office telling me that my lap band surgery is approved for May 21st. I go to the hospital for preadmission on the 12th and for boot camp on the 15th. I guess they'll start me on the liquid diet the day after boot camp. My husband is soooo cold about my decision to have wls. He voiced his opinions and that was that. He's not an ounce happy for me. He's very concerned that something bad's going to happen to me. I have asthma, high blood pressure and I had two bouts of bronchitis a month apart from each other. He says that I'm always sick and having surgery might complicate things more. He doesn't understand that that's precisely why I need and want this surgery, to become healthier. I'm on my way. Nereida

Hi! I'm having my lapband surgery on 5/21 too! Good luck to you! I'm sorry your hubby isn't supportive. That must be very difficult. I will say a prayer for you and wish you the very best of luck! Wishing you well,

May 21st was my day as well - lap band. How have things been for you since? Has your hsuband come on board with being more supportive since your orig post?

My husband was proven so wrong. As of yesterday I've lost 24 pounds and I'm still losing. My skirts are falling off of me and he even paid for a new skirt yesterday. We joined a gym together and yesterday was my assessment. He's having his next Tuesday. He's pleased with what he's been seeing so far. My blood pressure is way down, and I don't use my asthma inhaler as much as before. I have 55 more pounds to lose to reach my goal of 160. I'm loving me and this was the best gift I could've given myself. Nereida
