I went to the Bariatric Support Group tonight that my surgeon requires us to attend during the pre surgery phase. My husband went with me as we had to take our support person. First off, I am proud of my husband for going, as I know he doesn't like those kind of things. He even asked a couple questions, although one of them sounded a little like an attack "It's still a battle though, right? It's just a tool". Afterwards he made some not so nice comments about the psychologist (he's not a fan of counselors) which resulted in us having a bit of a heated conversation. I'm second guessing having the surgery now as I'm not sure he'll be supportive and will make negative comments when things aren't going the way he thinks they should. He even admitted he doesn't know how to be supportive. After we talked he said I should do it if I want to but that I have to remember that it's not going to be easy. He said that I've done so many things (weight watchers, Jenny Craig, Medifast, LA Weight Loss, Atkins, the list goes on) that he has to "keep his sense of humor" about the whole thing. Making comments like "should you REALLY be eating that?" is his idea of humor I guess. So my question is, has any one else done this journey with the feeling that their significant other isn't be supportive? How did that go and how did you do it? Thanks for listening.....I still want to move forward, but one of my biggest concerns is gaining the weight back..All advice is welcome
