AM I THE ONLY ONE ON THIS BOARD?????? SHANNON THE IRISH LASSIE

NO IM ON HERE TO BUT IT SEEMS TO BE SLOW

I there, Im here too, how are you ladies doing?

Hey there I read your profile and I thought it was great. I will keep you in my prayers for an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery. Keep me updated on your future success. Shannon The Irish Lassie aka Irish Angel Diva

I'm here too. You have very pretty hair. lol My hubby is very supportive of my WLS decision. How are you guys faring? Carrie

Well now that I have had the surgery he is a lot better. Prior to surgery he was on again off again in his support. I know now that he was just scared but at the time it was frustrating to say the least. Thxs, I have enough hair for a small country. Shannon The Irish Lassie

I'm here and waiting for my surgery date. My husband doesn';t seem very supportive when I talk to him about it. It's typical though because I always feel alone in everything I do.........so this will just be another thing. My family is so so on the support. If it wasn't for this website.......I would be majorly depressed about my decision for WLS. Tracie

Tracie, My heart goes out to you. I know how it is when the Hubby isn't on board. I don't think mine was really on board with the idea of me having this surgery. I think he felt that in being his wife he was to take care of me. We had several heated arguements over it. It wasn't until I let him know that I was going to do this weather he like it or not that he started come around. Oh that and when I started losing weight. Don't get me wrong he loves me with all of his heart as I am sure you husband does too. He just didn't see me as being that big and didn't think that I need this surgery. Good think I wasn't doin it for him, huh? Shannon The Irish Lassie

Good thing I'm not doing it for my husband also! Sometimes I wonder if he thinks I'm going to get skinny and leave him. Maybe because this is all about me for a change and the fact that I didn't even ask his advice? I feel like it is my body and I'm the one that is miserable so I am the one who wants to feel better and have this surgery. Maybe like you say..........he will come around eventually. Thanks, Tracie

Hi Shannon, I am here! This is my First visit here but I will be back. Tonya
