Hi Julie, If you are looking for a little inspiration...look up Lissa Reed. She was 686lbs when she had her WLS. I'm only two weeks post op so I don't have any wonderful stories to tell (yet). But my clothes are certainly looser! Remember that if you decide to do this, you need to be doing it for yourself first. I can't believe that someone that loves you would not want you to live longer, happier and healthier. See if there is an open support group meeting in your area to take your husband to. If he has questions about the process then he can get the answers there. Good luck!
