I want to thank everyone for your honesty. I understand now i do have underlying issues to deal with seperately from lapband. Time to look within and make decisions.

My husband has been very nasty to me over the years as my weight ballooned. We've been married 17 years. Its probably one of the reasons i gained so much over emotional eating in the first place. I was told six weeks wait after surgery for the fill. Another six for follow up fill. And check back at six months. But i haven't had a surgeon consult yet for details. They wait for approval. Do i have bad info on the process timing?

I have needed bariatric for years. I am currently waiting for insurance approval. Wish i could have done this 20 years ago. But my insurance didn't cover WLS. My husband took a job across country and i was able to change insurance --- its covered now! Here's my delima. I traveled to my hometown to visit family before heading to meet my husband in our new location. I have decided to have my surgery here where i have a huge support system. My husband and i would have no family or friends in our new location and jis job and driving take most of his day. So he wont be very much support for me during surgery, healing kr after. But i am finding out as i wait for insurance approval the lapband process will take maybe six months to put in and adjust. And i have heard that you must get a lapband care giver in my new location before i could relocate since doctors wont touch another doctors patient in an emergency ---God forbid. But after talking with my husband he refuses to wait for this long process before i join him. He is talking about divorcing me! Has anyone else had issues like this?! It is hurtful. Although i never intended to stay here this long, i may need to face divorce to get my surgery! I have to put my health first and foremost. I am just devistated at this point. Any advice? Has anyone else had a devistating life change not weightloss based because of their choice for WLS?
