How Can I Help

I am a new member to the site, but have been looking in since my wife was approved for surgery.  She had RNY on May 20, 2009.

I am just wondering what I can do to help her avoid some of the setbacks that so many seem to have following this surgery.  She has been large most of her life, and is now on her way to a place she has never been.

I am trying to be supportive, but know that there is a thin line between support and nagging.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What has or could your spouse have done to support you better along your journey.

I don't expect to earn the title "super spouse" but would like to give her the support she needs.

Thanks for any advice or recommendations.

One of the things my husband does for me is he brings me my vitamins every morning and night. He doesn't set them beside me, he hands them to me with a glass of water. He has been doing this for me for many years. It's just one of the ways he shows me he loves me.

He is always there to listen to me without judgment.

Your wife sounds like a blessed woman to have a husband who wants to help. :-)
