A Supportive Husband on my journey to PS......

I just have to brag about my Hubby for a moment...

He was my rock through my VSG last year. He was supportive and wonderful.

This year, we're getting ready for plastics. He has been the same wonderful, supportive guy through all of this as well. Even if insurance does pay for my TT and BL...(I'll pay for the BA part) we'll still have over $5000 out of our pocket. I'm not complaining and will be blessed if insurance kicks in a share. We scraped our budget with a fine tooth comb, and every spare penney has been going into the "boob fund"...he picked the fund name. LOL!  We need home repairs done but they're all getting put on hold.

We just got tax money back and I insisted bills got paid first. No money left for the fund. He came home last night and informed me he restructured 2 of our bills and stuck a good chunk of money into the fund. He wants to make sure we're ready for the PS so I can get some relief.

Forgive me for bragging....but I really love this guy!

 That's great.  Sounds like you have a gem there.  Hang on tight to him, they don't come along too often!

Thanks Fluff! I know I have a gem...trust me when I tell you I kissed a whole buncha frogs before I found my prince!

Thank God for good guys!!!!!!  

My husband has been great through all of this.  I was fortunate that insurance paid for my tummy tuck when the doctor did my hernia repairs (panni was huge-halfway down my thighs).  He was not able (doesn't t do this) to do a mons lift/reduction though and it needs to be done-it also hangs halfway down my thighs and is the size of a softball!!!!  

I talked with my husband about it and said that I have to have this done and will use my extra check at the end of the school year and  summer school pay to cover the costs and he didn't even bat an eye.  We, too, have needed work on the house and bills to pay, but he was cool with letting them slide for now.  We are hoping and praying that insurance will be appalled at my condition, take pity and pay for the necessary procedure(s), but if not, he is on board with finding the funds to pay out of pocket.

Good Guys all!

Awww Michelle...sounds like you have a great guy, too!! I wish you good luck and I'll cross stuff that you're successful in your persuit! Have you checked out Dr. Sauceda?? He's in Mexico, and once I have what insurance will cover done, I'll probably go to him to finish things up! I hear nothing but rave reviews about him!!! I think you have to be a member of his group to post...

Good luck and good wishes!

Does he have an available brother with the same though process?

It's great that you have someone like this. 

I was going to ask for a brother on the East Coast!  (Heck, I have already done most of my plastics, but just want a supportive guy to share my life with!)

 Heidi,
You made me laugh about kissing all the frogs before you found your prince!  I guess you could say I  did this a lot too before I found mine.  If I had sat down and wrote out my wish list for the perfect mate, mine was it, and then some.  
He got me started off on my weight loss journey only because he was so concerned about my health and encouraged me along the way.
Unfortunately, he had overwhelming health issues and I lost him about a year and a half ago.  If it hadn't been for his positive force in my life and me knowing what his wishes were, I would probably have gotten discouraged and given up.  But his words kept ringing in my ears, so I had to continue my journey.
This man changed my life in ways that he probably never even realized and he would have wanted me to complete my journey just like your husband does.  
It makes me feel good to know that I was not the only one who was blessed with such a loving partner.

That was an amazing tribute to your husband.  You too are a very fortunate woman.

You are a very lucky lady!  Good for you...  Nothing better than a supportive partner!
