am I the only one?

I married to my bestfriend in the entire world and we are more in love as time passes. He is scheduled to have LAP gastric bypass in March 2006. We have both done a lot of research about the surgery and feel very good about it. I have told him ,LOTS, that this decision is his and I will support him no matter what. Now the "difficult" thing for me is that I am very slim and I always have been, even after my daughter was born. I don't try to say that I fully understand what my husband feels emotional, because honestly, I don't. I know that I support him and want him to feel happy about himself. I tell him, do this for yourself, not for me...I love you now & always will! I just want to know if there is anyone else out there like me? I would love to chat with you....

Hello- I had the surgery in may and my situation is kinda like yours. My hubby is the one who has always been skinny minny. 1/2 a twig is what i call him. As for me i've always been on the heavy side. so i understand what your hubby is going through. If you'd like to talk drop me a line. ~April~

Teresa: My husband had his surgery March 27, 2006. We are almost 2 weeks post op at this time. I do not have a weight problem, other than that "10 pounds" that most want to lose. Like you, my husband has always been perfect to me no matter what his weight. I only worried about the health problems associated with his increasing weight. He has obstructive sleep apnea, diabetes, hypertension and severe right hip arthritis. He is a very active, involved man who loves life. With this surgery, I hope he can live life to the fullest and be as active as he wants. I find that I "hide" to eat, because I don't want him to feel bad that he cannot have what I have. (I have always eaten pretty healthy and he really hasn't. At this early post op period, even a piece of celery looks good to him!)
