Is there anything to this feeling?

Jan 28, 2010

I decided to write this because I'm kinda wondering if there is anyone who has experienced something similar..... and if not maybe someone else will have a similar experience and can relate. I have been discussing the prospect of having wls for awhile. I decided to get serious about it about 2 months ago or so after I found out that it is a covered procedure under my insurance. So I then started the process of referals and all that. (Tues is my first surgical consult)

My husband has told me a couple of times that he thinks I should wait until after we move to have it done. His reasoning is that there will be better doctors when we move from TN to Myrtle Beach, SC.  He also was worried that I would suffer from  depression after the surgery since I suffered from post partum depression after our last daughter was born. I will be moving to SC about 6 months or so before him and will be down there alone with our girls, he said if that was to happen, he couldn't physically be there cause he would still be here in TN. (I advised him that that was what phones and email were for)

My husband is a very sweet man. He always supports me in what I do. He is a stay at home dad and has been while I have been in school.  He works from home (we own our own business) and goes to school from home, and this allows me to come to school and go to work outside the home. I know there is just about nothing he wouldn't do for me. We talked a little about it the other day and he has confessed that he has this very bad feeling about the surgery and has had it since I started talking (seriously) about having it done. He is afraid that something is going to go wrong. We normally believe in following your instinct so this has been difficult for him, but even he admits that his  feeling is not always right. I have honestly worried about the procedure... But I think that is more nerves in general. I know that there has been issues with this surgery for some and I know that there has been death from it. But I also know that without losing this weight my health is in big trouble. So this is my problem.

As far as better doctors down there.... I am seeing the same surgeon that my sister did when she had hers 5 years ago. I actually requested him. I feel better knowing someone that has been to him and had them do their procedure. I don't think he understands that I find it a comforting fact. Soooooo.... this is where I am. Could there be any thing to his feeling?
