Guest guest Posted April 25, 2000 Report Share Posted April 25, 2000 My wife hated the letter I wrote for her--she said it sounded too " clinical " .

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2000 Report Share Posted April 25, 2000 Dear a, Here is what I did: I went to the site. I found out everything that I needed to know. (People WILL ask you questions about it and think you are stark, raving, mad) I called my insurance company FIRST. I saw how many problems people were having by not doing that. I knew that if insurance didn't pay I would have to talk to my husband sooner. (Like, " Hey honey, I just mortgaged the house...LOL, just kiddin') I got my appointment with my PCP, ran all the tests etc. I knew that my deductable hadn't been met and that my husband would see the check stubs so I think that is when I first mentioned it. You have already set the ball rolling by this point and they,for some reason,don't feel that they have to " Fix It " (That is what Dr. R is for) Then Hubby feels honored when you ask him to write a support letter. You have to think game plan. What is it that Jeff Foxworthy says, " Show men something to do with sports or something naked and they are all yours " . (Being that my weight is what it is I opted for number 1) I showed Mike the well thought out, money is all there, covered game plan. (Oh, I also told him that I needed him to take off a week and take care of the kids for me since I was going to NC) So...there's my approach a.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2000 Report Share Posted April 25, 2000 Wow! Hmmmmm. I didn't prepare anything to say. I just told him that I would be having this surgery. I invited him to sit down with me and look at the web site. I showed him the pictures, I showed him the videos (he's not a computer guy and he was amazed at the ability of the computer to even show videos) and I showed him the medical warnings. We talked about the possible complications and the risks. I never doubted that he'd support me. He knew how independent I was when he signed on 34 years ago. He was a little surprised when I told him that I would like to have it in May and said " so soon? " ...but I know he was thinking more logistics than anything since we just returned from a two month trip. My husband had a triple bypass in November. He did it to save his life. I'm having a bypass too. I'm doing it to save my life. I think his surgery was a little more risky. There was no doubt in his mind, I'm sure, that he would get the support, physical and emotional, that he needed from me. I cared for him as I would a child. And I have no doubt that I will receive the same back should it be needed. Flo in land I Florence Ballengee Hollywood, land florence@...

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2000 Report Share Posted April 25, 2000 Hi a, I have to say that my husband was and is totally supportive of the decision. He knows how much this means to me and how important it is to become a healthier person. Also, since it looks like I will have to be a self pay he even suggested that I could sell some of our things to help get the money. Has you husband seen the website? Does he know the dangers of staying morbidly obese compared to having this surgery? If he is not supportive maybe try a little bit at a time. I believe that unless you live as a morbidly obese person as understanding as people can be they really have no clue what it is like to be trapped in a fat body. Best of luck to you.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2000 Report Share Posted April 25, 2000 My husband knows I've been very unhappy with my weight for a long time. I have gained 80 lbs since we first started going together. He doesn't say too much about my weight, but I know it bothers him too. It has to, since I haven't had any interest in the " s " work in almost a year. Anyway, I told him a week before I went to Indy to visit a hospital there. He didn't say too much. After I came back and told him it wasn't for me, I told him about Dr. R's surgery. He hasn't really said anything either way. He accepts my decision in whatever I do. The only thing I haven't yet brought up to him is that I may be a self-pay if the insurance refuses the surgery. I don't know how he will feel about me taking money out of my 401K. But...I have worked hard for that money, so I should be able to spend it however I want. My husband is really an easy-going man, and lets me do what I think best. I know this probably doesn't help, but that's my story. Husbands > Leaves > > Hi, > > Let's talk about husbands, sorry guys, but this is important.

My Doc. suggested I look into WLS. When hubby got home for the weekend (he commutes) I told him the Doc had suggested it and asked him what he thought. He was suprised as I had been and said take some time to think about it and look into it. He also said he would contact someone he worked with on a previous contract who was having WLS when she rolled off that contract. He contacted her, she emailed me and gave me the obesityhelp.com website. Meanwhile I had started researching on my own. When I checked out obesityhelp.com I sat up all night reading and crying because I realized there was finally a real chance for me to win this battle with weight that I've waged my whole life. I called hubby the next day and told him I was pretty sure I wanted to do the surgery, but I wasn't sure which one. He was so supportive and told me just to keep researching and praying and we'd talk about it at length when he got home. Mind you, during this same timeframe, hubby and I had gone on a church retreat where I received the " listen up this time " call to full time ministry (I've felt the call in the past and ignored it). Talk about a confusing time! As I read stuff and wrote to people and got responses, I emailed them to hubby and when I discovered clos.net, I sent him the link and said this might be the one. The clincher for me in deciding to do the surgery came when I went to Dallas to visit hubby and also toured Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University. The buildings on the campus are older (i.e., no elevators) and climbing up and down three flights of stairs to sit in on classes and meet professors nearly killed me!!!!! I reported to hubby that I NEEDED this surgery so that I could be healthy not only for our family, but also to have the stamina to learn what God intends me to learn so that I can serve him. I've very blessed that my hubby has been extremely supportive. He bent over backwards to arrange his schedule so that I could have the surgery sooner than we originally talked about, and has been there every step of the way. Don't know if this helps you at all, but I know I'm thankful to have such a wonderful hubby. {{HUGS}} Claire Redhead in FL MGB 4/10/00 !!!!

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2000 Report Share Posted April 26, 2000 Well Seeing that my hubby also needs this operation. He was just fine with it. Although I am doing all the research,a nd just educationg him with my digging and work. as far as his support letter...I wrote it, from both of us basically, so we can both sign it in support of each other. He read it, and said 'Hey thanks, I always wanted to use some of those words in a real sentence!' *LOL* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I am doing all the research,a nd just educationg him with my digging and work. as far as his support letter...I wrote it, from both of us basically, so we can both sign it in support of each other. He read it, and said 'Hey thanks, I always wanted to use some of those words in a real sentence!' *LOL* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2002 Report Share Posted January 7, 2002 Before we got married I drilled him about the care of Cf and such. I basically told him if you can't handle it ship out. It would be a lot of work, hardship, and worry. Well I guess he is still here and he adopted my son a few years ago. I think when I started working eves. a few years ago, it pushed him to learn EVERYTHING!! I was still the main caregiver until I switched to nights. It should be teamwork as you all know if can be very hard and tiring at times.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2002 Report Share Posted January 7, 2002 I am not sure what the thread is. In any case, Ron is a stay at home Daddy, so he does most of the primary care. I do the nights (night time treatments, nighttime ivs, etc) and he does all the daytime, and of course, if I am out of town, then he does both. Take care, Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
