Did you get the sleeve or bypass? You stared at 212 lbs.?

Thank you! I will remember this for me! I appreciate you so much!!!!

I'm dreading talking with my husband. He's the "diet and exercise is the only thing you need!!" He stopped drinking soda and started Crossfit and dropped 50 lbs and 5 sizes. Me, I eat salad and drink water and gain a lb. So yeah, I'm worried about even mentioning it, but as my consult is on the 13th of November, I need to get to it.

He's basically pissed off at me for 20 years of "you only complain about your weight, you never loose!" and it has affected everything.

Thank you for your reply and I'm so happy you have been doing well!!

The only person I told about my surgery was my husband. And the only reason why I told his is because I needed someone to pick me up from the hospital. He didn't want me to do the surgery bicameral he thought I would die. What he didn't know was that I was dying inside already. Now a little over four years later, he's my diet coach. "Don't eat that, you don't want to get fat again", he says. And I just look at him and think, "this is coming from the person who didn't support me or go to a meeting with me the whole 6 months before the surgery". Bottom line, do this for you and your health. You are already faced with things that can kill you. At least you know that this surgery can help correct some of those issues.

If you're dealing with unexplained pain, you definitely need to talk to your doctor.

For bowel trouble, you may want to take something like Miralax to get everything moving.
