Husband doesn't want me to have surgery...
Hi All,
I am new on this site, just looking for some support. I had my Orientation on Dec 2016 and a few appointments since then.
After 15 years of trying to lose weight, I truly feel the surgery is my last hope. But my husband is not supportive. He doesn't want me to have surgery, still thinks that if I could just exercise every day I could lose the weight and keep it off... On the other side, he is nagging me about my weight every single day for the past 10 years. He wants me to lose weight just not through surgery. Any suggestion on how to convince him to have an open mind? I was thinking of bringing him to the meetings at TWH on the first Wednesday of the month, not sure if he wants to come with me.
Meanwhile, I have a good friend who I can talk to about this journey, it helps a lot... But it's hard without support at home.
Thanks
what if you needed heart surgery? Would he be nagging you to just "diet and exercise" to fix the problem?
Morbid onesity is a medical issue. Ppl have sat around and died way sooner than they might have while trying to do something the " old fashioned way" that can't be don't the old fashioned way. Losing weight and maintaining the loss, for some ppl, most of us on this site included, can't be done the old fashioned way.
