Ditto what Paul, Doug & Dan said. My wife was scared for me, but we discussed it and she could see that I was miserable being obese. Also, my cardiologist is the one who suggested I consider WLS. He said that even though my heart was currently in good shape (I had a stent ands pacemaker after having 5 heart attacks in 2002), the extra weight I was carrying was definitely going to impact my heart health in the near future. Now that I am 88 lbs. lighter and feeling better, both physically and mentally, she understands that I did what I had to do. And she is happy I did.
Bottom line, YOU have to decide what is best for YOU. Hopefully she will respect and support your decision.
