[quote=Anonymous]My DH had gastric sleeve, which has shown better results than the lap band, but is not as drastic as the bypass. There are a number of reputable large hospital practices in the area that do this. Look at the number of surgeries the physician has done (you want someone with many hundreds under their belt) and a practice where they are going to make your husband make the lifestyle changes BEFORE the surgery, not after. That mean he spends 6 months exercising and eating well before he goes under the knife. That does two things: shows everyone he has the intention and ability to make changes, and makes him healthier as he undergoes major surgery, which is a lot safer. Surgery is no joke for the morbidly obese.

But...you can't do this for him, OP. I know, because I tried to prod, prompt, schedule, research, and motivate for years. It took something completely out of my control to get DH to the point where he was ready to do this, and when he was ready he did the whole thing with no nagging from me. He is now 130 lbs less, healthy and happy and doing great.[/quote]
