Does anyone have any information, or a patients spouse have information to comfort my

husband regarding my decision. I have done at least 100 hours of research regarding this over the past few months for me to get the wls on me. I have asked him..."do you want to know about it? Would you like to see some before and after?" He always just said "I support you". Out from no where, he met a person that had it and she had many many complications and is not fully healed yet and she said "don't eat too much or you will puke everytime." Well he reacted then someone else told him the same day that is was a "medically approved Balemic" (spelled wrong?). Then I got so many hassles that day regarding this surgery and I meet with the surgeon this week. He did not want to hear any research that I had done because these two people opened their mouth and did not think about what they were saying. The second person is just a person that doesn't even know about the surgery. DOES ANYONE HAVE A COMFORTING WORD i CAN GIVE HIM, OR A SPOUSE THAT HAS SEEN YOU GO THROUGH THE SURGERY AND AND ENCOURAGING ADVISE AT HOW IT IS GOOD RATHER THAN BAD. I WOULD REALLY LIKE A COUPLE SPOUSES TO GIVE THEIR INPUT FOR MY HUSBAND. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I AM GOING FORWARD IN THIS, AND I WOULD LIKE HIM TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT BY SOME OF YOUR SPOUSES GIVING THEIR EXPERIENCE OF HOW IT HAS EFFECTED THEM...ESPECIALLY IF THEY WEREN'T SO SUPPORTIVE BUT DISCOVERED HOW GOOD IT ENDED UP BEING. My husband told me after that incident he supports me in it still, but the reassuring words from other spouses that have gone through would be great. Thanks!
