Default No Spouse Support

Hi Everyone ~~ I am still pre op and in the process of getting all the screenings and doctors exams done. I am still having a lot of difficulty with my husband listening and supporting this.

I posted a thread titled Opposing Spouse and your advice to me was to educate him. I took this weekend to try to do that. He sat quietly and listened and at the end said, "you still know how I feel, it is too drastic of a move, just eat less and exercise more."

Brigham Womens Hospital has an excellent Live Operation for Lap Band procedure on the internet and I wanted him to watch it with me but he said no. What do I do at this point?

To give you a little history of my husband and I~~ We have been best friends since the forth grade. We have a wonderful life and two great kids. We have traveled the world and have a very health marriage. He is my best friend and it KILLS me not to have his support. He knows weight loss is not easy for he is losing right now and he knows how long I have struggled with my weight. He needs to lose about 80 lbs.

I finally told him that if I am approved by insurance, I will be going thru with it. He still said, " You know my feelings on it." Anyone have any advice for me? Thanks, Shawna
