    I agree with most of the comments here , 4 months is not long in the grand scheme of things!
    And I am not out to insult anyone here but you do sound kind of needy! Let him spend time with his family, there will be hundreds of occasions where you will all get together. Don't take it personally that he doesn't want you to meet his brother yet, hey maybe his bro is an ass and he's saving you from him lol or maybe he just wants to ease you into the family bit by bit either way I'm sure it's all good.
    Take care

    @lisacaron I hear you, we have a lot in common! Aren't you the one who's husband is getting a band also? If so, you are LUCKY. I bought my husband one his favorite things which is dried peas with wasabi on them. He sat their crunching the things like they were the best things EVER. 3 times I asked him to please keep his mouth closed when chewing, I could hear him in the other room. Finally, yesterday afternoon...I lost it!, I told him I was going to "slap the **** out of him if he doesn't chew those things with his mouth closed" NOW, that is totally out of character for me, so he just closed his mouth and didn't say a word. It was really rather funny.
    However, my problem is the man is 5'6" and weighs 146 pounds. For all of our marriage he has been smaller than me and able to eat whatever he wants.
    I hate him

    victoriab reacted to Rebecca Cain Salpacka in 1 YEAR BANDED - DOWN 78 LBS   
    1 year ago today, I was waking up and anxiously awaiting time to leave for the hospital. A day that I knew, would change my life forever, and change it for the better.
    I started my journey January 27th, while speaking with the bariatric surgeon. A few weeks later on March 1, I was at my heaviest weight ever, of 357 lbs. When I got the call on March 27th, saying my surgery was approved, I literally started dancing in the parking lot, that I was walking through when the phone rang. I knew my life would never be the same.
    Now, a year after my surgery I am down 78 lbs from surgery day, and 91 lbs total since March 1...that is the entire weight of my son (his doc appt he had this week, weighed him at 90.4 lbs. INSANE..considering that I cant even lift him an inch from the floor, how in the world did I ever manage to carry 91 more lbs around on this body of mine....wow!
    When i seen the surgeon in January, she asked me my expectations of how much weight i wanted to lose in the first year, and I said 75lbs...she said a very doable goal....and I reached it....one of the few goals I have set in my life, that I have reached (graduating college, getting married, and becoming a mom were the other big ones in which i succeeded) So I am thrilled to be able to add this to the list of my reached goals. However, I am not done...I have 115 more lbs to go, to get to my "final" goal weight...which I am setting and hoping to lose within the next 18 months.
    Has this been a smooth easy ride...absolutely not! Would I change anything about it...absolutely not! If it had been any easier, I dont think I would have learned as much as I have...the band is a TOOL, not a quick fix, like so many seem to think.
    I hope anyone out there that may be earlier in the journey, and struggling, will see that you can NEVER give up, or you will NEVER succeed.
    Good Luck everyone, and remember to listen to your body and your band, and never stop Moving Moving Moving!

    Remember ladies, we love you, our partners, and no matter what, we want YOU. No matter how you feel you look. Overweight, underweight, sick, healthy. We WANT you! We DESIRE you!
    If we could give you anything in the world, it would be the gift of seeing you through our eyes just for one day, so you could see how special you are to us.
    Overweight or not, make love (sex) to your partner. He needs it.
    After all, whats 2-3 minutes out of your evening anyway?

    Awwww that sucks, not everyone is negative and sometimes I think things get taken the wrong way, it's tricky with the written word when you can't hear the sarcasm etc in a persons voice, but please stick with the site because with negative comment there is 100 positive comments
    I've only been banded for less than a month but I find this site invaluable, I read over previous posts to help me out and I'm always open and honest if you wanted a chat.
    Good luck and take care
