My husband had the Lap Band surgery a year ago last November. He is non-compliant and after initially losing, has regained most of the weight. I have tried my best to be very supportive of him through out every aspect of the process, but evidently, I did all the wrong things to support him.I feel terrible. I would love to hear from both Banders and spouses what is actually most helpful and useful. Most importantly, I would really appreciate any suggesstions on what I can do at this point to encourage him to be compliant. Thanks, Marmmalou:unsure:

Thanks Enterprise01! I am a devoted Trek Fan myself. I'll back off my husband a bit- I've been trying to be non-intrusive, but I think he might take it that way. He has a 2nd fill scheduled for 2/28

Hi everyone , my husband had the band nov 26, 2006, lost weight slowly but continuously till abou the time of his first fill (1cc) I don't know what size band he has. He's still hungry. Anyway, I know this site is for bandsters, but I feel like I need to help my husband, because he has become somewhat non-compliant. I don't know what to do (?) He won't involve himself in in a forum like this ( found it for him) or go see the nutritionist,attend bandster meetings, or even keep track of his appointments. Is it possible my support for him (like preparing appropriate snacks, meals, asking if he weighed himself, reminding him to take it easy at restaurants, etc.) might make him feel like I'm being pushy about losing weight and so he behaves contrary,and eats what he wants. I want to support him but I'm worried I'm doing the wrong things for him. Bandsters, In what ways do your spouses support you that really feels helpful??? thanks, marmmalou
