I don't think it has anything to do with liking bigger girls since I was way smaller when we met before I gave birth to his two over sized children. I think it has more to do with the fact that he doesn't want me to be thinner. Like he's insecure that I will leave him for a much cuter richer man. I tried to explain that I'm already gorgeous so it has nothing to do with being insecure. Heck, I'm worried I'm going to lose my awesome breasts *pouts* But I'm doing it to be healthier for my children and because my older brother is worried about me and the complications with being this heavy. He surely wouldn't go for me having the surgery in Mexico because while some of the doctors are certified through the American Board of Bariatrics, the nurses, anesthesiologists and hospitals aren't. He'd never go for it.


I have a friend that just had it done in Mexico..and it was fantastic. She said the facilities were super clean, the staff very friendly and she didnt have one bit of trouble.

I've heard the same from many who know people who have gone to Mexico for the procedure..or even to Spain.



Look into Care Credit. See if your surgeon accepts it. You can get financed for what portion you can't pay for out right...and make monthly payments.

Your DH sounds a little like mine, he's scared most of all that I"m going to die but he jokes that I'm going to get skinny and leave him.

I told him it wasnt about me looking good b/c honey, I'm fabulous now...I'm doing this for my health...LOL

Its just scared and you cant force him to change just be patient with him...

or you know, do it anyway LOL
