Banding and dating?

He is going to have to know sooner or later and it might be worse if you wait too long. If he is being open with you and finds out you are holding back a major thing then he might be hurt. Besides, if he can't understand then he is not the right guy for you anyways.

If he really cares about you as a person, he will support you in this weight lost process. Therefore, you need to be honest and let him know. Like stated prior by PrairieDawn- if he isn't not supportive or understanding of you having the band get rid of him early. When people really love and care for you, they want the very best for you as well.

I agree with the prior posts. Even though it is none of his business it will still stop the questions or comments. I went out with someone and I told him on the first date just to avoid why I wouldn't be eating all my food and chewing like a thousand times!!!! I just threw it in the conversation while we were trying to decide on what to eat. I was like by the way I won't be eating a lot because I have a band on my stomach and he thought it was cool! He laughed and said well from now on I only got to get you happy meals! LOL!

I agree with all of the above comments! Plus god forbid if you have a stuck episode..those are hard to hide sometimes. Another thing now for me is..if you were intimate your port would be very noticeable (or at least mine is). When I go to a doctor who hasn't seen me and they do an examine they always are like.."what is that" and then they what to learn all about it. Anyway, that is my two cents about it. Have fun dating!

i don't honestly see how it would bother someone that you are trying to better your health..???? good luck!
