Just be honest on the test, the only problem I had was that I was going for gastric bypass, but the doc decided because of my mental health issues and depression that the bypass would not be good for me , and decided that the band would be , other then that , I don't see it causing any problems ,

It will be okay. I went through a range of emotions the first year...not telling people to telling people about my LBS... Some family not ok with it. I have to learn not to say much to my obese friends. I know it's hard to celebrate and you should!!!! I'm down 81 pounds after a year and five months 63% of my weight. Remember this is a journey and lifestyle change. I don't weigh as much on the scale because I just need to take each day in stride. If you are exercising more.. That is awesome. It's a huge change that you have to get used to. Just think of the big picture in your journey, reflect on all of your accomplishments! It seems the second year is so much easier! I'm losing more now. Hang in there.
