Huge Changes Upcoming

Last year my husband had WLS, having the Gastric Sleeve. He lost 130 pounds over the course of the year and feels amazing and looks good. It was not my choice for him as I knew that he probably wasn't ready for it, but he has done well. WLS has always been on my mind for years. However, most insurance companies will not pay for it without some underlying medical condition. Well I don't have any of those and haven't that we know of developed them. So WLS was just a thought in the back of my mind. Over time my mind set changed and I couldn't help but think that WLS was a quick way out. If you work hard at losing weight the weight will come off, right? Or so I thought! I tried and tried, different trainers, 5-6 days in the gym, better food, etc. Guess what I gained weight. Month after month I watched as the scale slowly moved upward. This is not the result that I wanted to see. Devestation! Then my husband had reached the part in his life that he had no choice but to make a change. In comes WLS. Still my mindset is I just need to work harder. My husband started with the new trainer that everyone sees after WLS and loved him. So I started seeing him as well. He has been a game changer for me. I have these new found muscles that I never had before and I feel so much better but guess what, I gained weight. I get that with new muscles comes weight gain but along with that should come some loss. Nope, none. The trainer has been really good about understanding how I felt about WLS but we continue to talk about it, which has probably been the best thing for me. So the decision has finally been made that I want to have WLS. Since September I have been seen the nutritionist and the psychologist, and yesterday was the surgeon. I have not gotten my hopes up that the insurance will pay for it but from the sounds of it I think it will be approved. I am starting to look forward to the WLS and the results that I should see from it. I see my Doctor from surgery clearance this week and next week is the Gastroenterologist. If my calculations are correct probably by July I will be having surgery and starting this new journey.
