Married Twice how fortunate I am

Jun 15, 2010

  Posted the following on the boards.  Got some very nice feedback which made me realize how fortunate I am.  Made me want to save to my blog.

June 15th, 2010.  29th Wedding Anniversary
Married this afternoon in Northfield Minnesota to my best friend David 29 years ago today!!.  Still married to the same boy.  It is delightful to be only 20 pounds heavier than I was then rather than the nearly 90 pounds heavier I was close to at the time I headed for WLS.  My marriage to the procedure (to use the analogy loosely) has been similar; there were second thoughts, lots of presurgical preparation, much ado about food, the "Honeymoon" period, and learning how to live with my sleeve.  Like with my real marriage though I made the best decision I could with all the information I had - and both have been successful in my book.  Perfect?  Never.  Who likes perfect?  It just makes everyone else around you irritated.

Thanks to my husband for supporting me in my decision to have WLS.  His first response was "why don't you just diet and exercise".  When I pointed out I had been doing that for 35 years he wisely stopped trying to dissuade me and was in my court the whole time.
Feeling very very good about both "marriages".
Anne
