Well I have posted here to say when I was ready to wackem...so I want to post to let everyone *****ads...(which doesn't seem to be much)...know that life does get better. My husband and I are really on a whole different level now. I am not sure when it happened I can only say I know how it happened. I have been praying and my Jesus has bless my marriage once again. I am so thankful to my Saviour. I will update more later. I am going to be getting ready for my surgery send up some prayers for me. Shannon The Irish Lassie 3/17/04

My husband is being so great about this. He is wonderful. But yes in real life, I occasionally want to whack him. He has been 110% supportive of me in this, even when everyone else wasn't. His only prob is the dying thing again , but ya know that's my only problem with it too!! The closer it gets, the less excited he seems. I, on the other hand, am so excited that I can't sit still. I need a time machine so I can hurry up and get there!!

My husband is so awesome. He was excited and worried for me. He has been my biggest spporter and my rock. I tell him my worries and aggrivations with this surgery. We talk it out and I always feel better about it. We have been together for 13 yrs this June and married for 9 yrs this August. I look forward to many more years with him and being thin. Also looking forward to better sex. LOL Who isn't? At least I'm honest, right? LOL

Hi. My husband and I are part of a growing group of husband/wife couples who hae BOTH had WLS. We are wondering how many more are actually out there! I had open RNY on March 13, 2002 my DH had lap RNY on June 19, 2003 currently, we are both down 140#. Who else are married and both spouses have had WLS.

Hi all! I will have been married 8 years on Feb 26. And on boy has it been interesting. When I first met my soon to be husband I looked at him and honestly thought he wasn't my type, 2 weeks later he was telling me he loved me, to which I responded "no you don't, you don't even know me!" Well just goes to show what I knew. Now I wouldn't trade him for the world! He is so worried about me having this surgery he also seems to think that I'm going to die. Every time I tell him that I called the ins co again to check on my appeal status he says he hopes it doesn't get approved. But other days he's all for it saying how great it will be when I'm thinner because we'll be able to do more active activities, like going dancing, for walks and bike riding (he's very thin 145lbs @5'6"). Then sometimes he'll say what I think is his funniest comment: "but when you are thin I'm going to miss your big a$$ and I love your big a$$" (and no, he's not being mean). I've taken him to seminars and given him lots of information on WLS, but he's still not convinced. He says he doesn't know what he'd do if something happened to me. I've told him that I believe God is in control and your destiny isn't something that can be changed, so whatever happens was meant to happen, he agrees but he still doesn't like the idea. Any other suggestions that may help ease his mind? Sorry so long it's just when I talk about my husband I tend to gush, because he's everything to me. And yeah, I also want to whack him sometimes too. Take Care Estela
