I was waitlisted in June of 2012. I waited 19 months until I finally got in to my bariatric program. During that 19 months, I started making changes, because I knew I was going to have to anyway once I got into the program.
During that 19 month wait, I didn't say a WORD to my husband! LOL! I was kinda nervous about how he would react. I assumed that he would think I was crazy, and he'd talk me out of it.

I went to my first appt with my clinic Jan 15, 2014. I made up my mind that day that I was going to do it. I was going to prepare for the surgery. I signed all the waivers, and filled out all the forms.
I still hadn't said a word to my husband.

I was actually trying to figure out a way to have the surgery without telling him HAHA! (He's not big on surgeries in general) That was my biggest worry. What he was going to say.

That night I came home and he asked how my appt went (I had told him I was going to see a obesity specialist so I could get onto a weight loss program and finally lose this weight) I told him it went well. Then I told him that I was going to most likely need surgery.
He wanted to hear all about it, so I told him about the sleeve, I gave him the book that I had recieved so he could read up and ask me any questions.

He has not once tried to talk me out of it. He said he would support me 100% in whatever decision I make. His only concern was "how much is it going to cost" LOL (Thankfully my ins covers it all, so nothing)
He also asked how long i'd have to be in the hospital. I told him he didn't even need to stay with me, just pick me up when i'm ready to come home. He said "Ya right, i'm not leaving your side!"

Thoe only thing I asked of him, was that he please not tell anyone. I'm not ready to go public yet, because I don't want opinions from people trying to talk me out of it. Especially HIS mom. She's 100% against WLS. He said "It's nobody's business" and said he wouldn't tell anyone EVEN his mom. And I do believe him.
I will probably tell her eventually, when I feel the time is right. Then again, I might not. We will see, I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

Every week we watch "my 600lb life" together. He's very interested in everything i'm doing. I've been walking everyday, he hasn't come with me yet, but that's ok, I like to be alone and listen to my music and clear my head. I overheard him telling his brother the other day that i've been walking everyday, even in the rain LOL (cute)

Overall, he's awesome. He's letting me make my own decisions, and he's following my lead as far as how much info I want to give out to him or others.
He's a keeper

That's Awesome!
I am getting ready to go out (it's our anniversary today)but I will post later our stories are very similar though.

Thanks for posting!

Happy Anniversary! Hope you had a nice night out!

(We just celebrated our 19th year on Feb 4)

Happy Anniversary! My husband has been supportive, but a few times before the surgery, I felt he was trying to talk me out of it. I wasn't hearing it. I had to convince him to change his mind. I had him to look at how unhappy I was, I couldn't take a few steps without breathing like I was running a marathon. Eventually he came around, but he still had some issues with my weight loss, he's afraid that I'm going somewhere because I'm 100lbs less...*sigh* I've had to reassure him that after 17 years together, 14 years this August we will have been married, I'm not going anywhere, he has loved me at almost 500lbs and he still loves me at 378. I hope we have another 50 years together!
