Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  Considering your previous post about him not wanting you to have the surgery you might be playing with dynamite if you say somthing. Kids are a little different. You can control what they eat most of the time and offer better stuff. Your husband on the other hand is a total different situation. I offer no advice on this because personally if this was me (being your hubby) I would be mad. Let me explain..........My cousin who had this done 2 years prior to me suggested I go on a diet myself after she was about 2 months out. I was totally offened and told her what I thought about her suggestion. Perhaps when you lose alot more then will see how active you get and how well your doing and then look at his own habits. Im sorry honey I cant advise no better. |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | not really sure what to say about the hubby, he is an adult and even though u are concerned for him, i think he may be pretty mad if u bring this up...as for the kids, we have control of what they put in their mouths...we buy the food and we prepare the food..i know my kids have really wanted to eat more healthy things since they see me doing this...good luck!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Personally, it would tick me off, especially if I knew you were right. It seems like we all have to get to this place on our own. We each have our own journey and our own reasons for doing surgery, etc. Having said that...... maybe you can plan and offer healthy choices and keep good things around the house. If he chooses bad choices elsewhere - well that's out of your control. Good luck!

| Super Moderator  | (((((HUGS)))))) He is an independent and responsible adult, so he will have to think and decide on his own. I know it is hard for you to watch, but this is something he has to think through and decide on his own. It may be also that if you say something, he may feel that he lost his *eating* partner, so he may be having a hard time of his own. That said, I do think it's okay for you to just tell him very casually and lightly, that at your present post op stage, when your system is still healing, the smell of some kinds of food make you gag, so could he help you by not bringing in such food into your home for a while. The other thing you can do is quietly cook food that is healthy and good. If you are asked to cook certain types of food that isn't healthy, then you can reply very matter of factly, that at the present stage, the smell while you cook them makes you feel ill also, so if he doesn't mind, please let you not cook them for now. Other than that, what is probably best is just let him watch you get your health and energy back, and give him the grace of allowing him what to do about himself.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | give it time.....DDH has gained the last few months...I'm nearly 9 months out and he's kinda talking about going to the gym with me now....especially when I passed him and weigh so much less than he does now!!!! They get their own pressure to get in shape once they see you doing it...plus, with everything we watch, I'm keeping healthier foods around the house, eating and cooking healthier...EVEN if you don't say anything, it eventually rubs off!! |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Try to put yourself in his shoes. If he were the one losing the weight from surgery and he tried to tell you your'e eating too much and the wrong stuff, you KNOW you would get mad and resent it. Doc has some great suggestions. My DH started exercising abot a month ago after he saw how much I lost. I didn't have to say anything to him, he just told me he wanted to live as long as possible. So give him time to come to the decision on his own. And start teaching the kids to like healthy foods! |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | The one concern that my husband had when i had this surgery is that I'd start pointing the finger at him. I vowed I wouldn't. He NEVER said word one about how I looked after gaining over 100 lbs, I have no reason to do it back and wont. I do buy the groceries though. There are no carbs or sugar in the house and they are trimming up. I cook no carb or low carb meals. They go out and bring something home once in awhile but I still won't say anything. It has to be his decision.
