    How is your husband doing? I just got home from the hospital yesterday and was trying to catch up on things. I am 3 days post op and can't believe how smooth everything went for me. I had to take a moment to think about my friends who haven't had as easy of a journey as mine. Are you still thinkning about doing your surgery?

    I am very sorry to hear about the complications that have happened to your husband. I recently had a similar situation with my husband who is young, 40, and had a knee replacement. A 3 day hospital stay turned into 12 days and then extensive home care on my part that i was not prepared for. He has now told me since the expierence has passes, that the only thng keeping him positive and trying to get better was my love and taking such good care of him and not freaking out when he knew inside that i wanted to. I have heard from people in my support group thru the hospital of complication arising in a patient that is larger. With the surgery taking longer and more staples and cutting, I have not heard of 7 hours so that must have been very scary for you. I have also read that less than 1% of patients have complications, and it sounds like your husband was the unlucky 1%. I hope that you can still be open minded about your own process and think back to the health concerns that brought you on this path. I have had a moment of insecurity and thought to myself, maybe this is just crazy and I an lose this on my own. I have been batteling the extra weight for 22 years, I obviously can't. Please be strong and take care of yourself as well. Your family is in my thoughts.

    I bet that can get discouraging, but remember men always lose weight quicker. Just know that you are doing your best and it will happen. SLOW and STEADY WINS the RACE! Whatever you do just know that the goal is going to be so worth it! The excitement and joy I felt on Friday when I got my call was so worth all the heartache and pain it had taken me to get there, and then on the 19th it will finally be a reality and even more worth it! You can do it, for you are worth it!
