Husbands Support is Priceless
May 23, 2013
After 3 yrs of research and months of trying to get approved, I finally have a date ! July 16th. Now to try and lose that 10% . In the midst of waiting for approval , then being denied, my husband wrote this to me.
Fast forward until this past Tuesday , I got the call, I'm approved ! Surgery dates set for 7/16/13 .
Read this letter my husband wrote me last week. We were in the midst of being denied. He's away at war right now , thousands of miles away he still gives me butterflies. I'm blessed beyond belief to have a man that loves me so much.

From all the emails it sounds like your doctor’s office has been doing all they can to help you. It’s just so annoying that this new company is being so terrible. I mean what if you needed heart surgery or something else life threatening and they resist that. Just sucks.
If you don’t get the surgery, you can always lose the weight on your own, it is physically possible. It’s just a harder and longer process. We are all creatures of habit. Once you break your bad habits of not exercising and over eating, and then create new habits of a healthy diet and daily exercise, then your body changes. It’s just a very difficult process, even more difficult because of the boys, and because I’m gone. You didn’t do anything wrong, you just haven’t had the opportunity. Like going away for 6 months on Biggest Loser and devoting every single day of your life to exercise and healthy eating. I get it, that is a very hard thing to do. Once you make up your mind and commit to the process and give yourself the opportunity to make it happen, then it will. It will be a sacrifice you have to choose to make for your family. The surgery just makes this whole thing easier.
As always, tell me what you need from me to help. Day care, gym membership, personal trainer, meal replacement shakes, whatever it takes. I care more about you than money, so don’t let anything hold you back from making this a reality. I mean thirty thousand to pay for the surgery ourselves is not realistic, but you know what I mean. Surgery or no surgery, your lifestyle is going to have to change. Tristan, Xander, and I all need you in our lives, healthy and happy.
And of course I always love you.
