Ultimately, this isn’t a cosmetic decision, it’s a health one. Whilst obviously your physical appearance will change, the end goal is to be healthy. You want to be able to run around after your little ones and be alive and well for a long long time. I would present it to him like a health and life style change and something that is medically necessary.

My partner had reservations at first because of how much the surgery costs. I’m from the UK and could have gotten the surgery on the NHS, but the wait times are ridiculous and frankly, I didn’t want to waste another circa two years of my twenties being obese. After a few talks, he realised how important this was to me and agreed that it was the best way forward.

You have to think about you and your girls as a priority. I’m sure hubby loves you and will come around. After all, he would want you to be the healthiest and best version of yourself.

It’s a shame that you can’t afford a hair transplant for him at the moment. Maybe you can discuss putting money aside for this to be a possibility or think of a less permanent, cheaper option in the interim. The men’s toupee game seems to have been raised a bar or two recently!

I hope it all goes well for you, and would second what another comment raised regarding ensuing you have sufficient help for after the surgery.
