I am thinking about going but I am not sure yet since I will have to do so alone. My wife shows no interest in my journey and she may feel a bit threatened by my progress. I had hoped to be an inspiration to her but it hasn't worked out so far. She won't go to any of my support meetings even though her weight is becoming an increasing problemfor her  because of her  Arthritis and Lupus issues.

I  have also gained back 8lbs since my lowest after VSG surgery in 08/10. I tend to  fluctate 2-3 lbs from Day to Day for for no apparent reason except for possible water retention issues. After losing 186lbs, I am not worried too much yet.

I hope it is OK to post here as I'm not from GA but MI.  I will be coming
down your way.  AirTran ran a sell last week and they still had rooms left. 
So I will be coming.  I did a search trying to find info as I have never been
to one.

Nick my DD had the same issue with her DH.  She had the VSG two years ago.  She wanted him to do it with her as he was even more overweight than her.  He was going to do it the "natural way", now is even larger.  He never went anywhere with her, except to the hospital.

My DH is very supportive but, doesn't understand the issues.  He tells me to just shut my mouth and don't eat.

Are you both going?

BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.

I hope to be at the conference.  I am holding steady at about 125-127 lbs. depending on the day.  I am up from a low of 119 which made me look like a scarecrow.  I am trankful for the extra poundage.

Both my wife and I will be attending.  I'm 3 yrs out RNY and wife is 1 yr out RNY.  I thank God every day for our relationship and how it has strengthened even more as we've started this new journey together.  Though the numbers on the scale can be an indicator, our focus has been more on getting healthy so that we can enjoy the physical activities together that we once could not. 

After all, living life fully and well should be everyone's goal!
