Family and Friends reaction to me getting WLS
Jul 22, 2009
My mother and my mother in law tried to talk me out of getting WLS they had nothing but negative comments about WLS. My mother in law even tried to talk my husband into talking me out of having WLS. She told him so many negative things until he became afraid for me.I told him that I was going to have the surgery regardless of his mom's comments.I then pulled out a picture that I took for him before we got married. It was for him to see the night before we got married. I had on a negligee and I weighed 130 pounds at the time, then I said to him "wouldn't you want to see me look like this picture again? or would you rather have me fat and unhealthy?" Later I believe it was a day later he called me on the phone he was on his way home from work and said " I was thinking about the picture that you showed me". from that day on I had his support. My sister in law Sherri was my support person she said that she wanted me to be healthy. My daughter was happy for me so was my three older sisters. My sister Brenda was negative so was her daughters who are all over weight. By the way my mother and mother in law are over weight as well and both of them have health problems. I would have communicated differently If I could now. I wouldn't have told my mother, mother in law my sister Brenda or her daughters. I think I would only involved my daughter my son my husband and my sister in law Sherri.
