Hubby does not agree WLS is for me. How can I convince him? HELP!

Ok, I went to see my surgeon last week. I am definately a canidate for WLS. Paperwork has been faxed to the insurance on Monday, but have not heard any news yet. Through the process, my husband does NOT want me to have the surgery. I've basically told him I'm doing this for me, my health, our children and to be around for him. I've been over weight since I was a teenager and would like to FINALLY be able to feel good about myself and know how it feels to be thin. Please help! I need more ammunition to convince him I'm doing the right thing. Did any of you have a spouse that was against you having the surgery?? I'm sure he's scared of losing me on the table, but I've told him in the direction I'm heading now, he'll lose me anyway if something isn't done. I'm tired to dieting and yo-yoing up and down. It's just not going to happen the natural way. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
