Guest guest Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 First of all I wish to remain anonymous, so I've just set up a new name. Forgive the mysterious of it all, but hopefully you'll understand. I had my surgery about 3 1/2 years ago. I've lost 100 pounds give or take, and in a perfect world, I'd like to loose another 50 to 75 pounds. That being said, I've found myself halting my efforts, as to not make my husband feel worst about his weight and the fact that he does not qualify for WLS. (Not heavy enough) For the last 3 years, he's found occaision to comment on the fact that I was lucky to have the surgery, and even went so far to say that he was glad that HIS insurance could pay for MY surgery. (ouch) And at this point, even though the insurance coverage would cover a " Panni " , I haven't even considered it, as I think it would upset him further. I mention depression in the subject matter, as I'm sure that's where it stems from. He's medicated on Paxil now, and has been on Prozac. And at this time every day is a new adventure (help!) Now, I'm guessing I'm off topic (maybe) but any one else out there with a depressed spouse? How can we cope year after year? Advice please?
