The need for surgery!

My husband has been slowly gaining weight over the years, I won't say his weight because he is very sensitive to it, however I honestly didn't even notice it. I feel bad looking back on our lives, and think that if I had paid more attention I could have done something else. I don't really know. They say love is blind and it is. To me he has always been the man I love, and the father of my children.

I knew he had gotten heavier, and so have I. It took a doctor telling us how bad it was to open up my eyes. The problem is not really his weight as much as it is the health problems caused by being overweight. He suffers from chronic pain, and is limited to what he can do. He has back problems, sleep problems, chest pain, depression, and much more. He has our family doctor, a cardiologist, and an orthopedic surgeon all supporting his decision, or rather need to have this surgery.

He doesn't have much of a choice at this point. We have tried various diets over the years with no success. He must loose the weight because the bottom line is that if something isn't done soon he won't be around long enough to see his children grow up.
