My husband did a very brave thing last week to manage his health in the best way he knew how: he underwent gastric-bypass surgery. After he found out he was diabetic 3 years ago, I have watched him try everything he could to manage his weight. He tried several diets, and none would produce the results he needed to remain healthy. Through many family discussions, he made the ultimate decision to undergo this type of bariatric surgery. He needed to do something to give him the discipline he felt he lacked. He felt that this would not only reverse his diabetes, but would in turn also save his life. Since I am asthmatic and struggle every now and again with stamina, he also did it to ensure that he would be able to keep up with our son, who grows increasingly active everyday. Although it will be a tough road from here on out (especially being out of commission with golf-playing for a couple of months), I support my husband and this difficult yet courageous decision he made. Dominic and I are so proud of you honey!
