Lap Band Surgery - Health Message Boards Is another good forum I was banded on 28th November and found them to be a great support Deb

Yes he left and ran home to mummy.She can have him as no one else will want him with the attitude he has. I have never felt happier and I am on my way to my healthier life losing 10.5 kilo since the optifast diet and my surgery. good luck every one in journey ahead Deb

My husband was against me having the surgery as well only because he was a very domineering person and while I am big he can control me knowing I wont leave the house for embarrassment of my size. however I had to do this for my health's sake as I also had family members die young with heart problems and wanted to be around for my children Even though it was against his wishes I told him" I'm going ahead with it you can either support me or not" with this he said he was leaving and who wanted to be married to a fat slob any way ,mind you he is 30 kilos overweight. I had my surgery on 28th November 2007 and have never felt happier or better.

I was banded on 28th November,and the thought of food is making me ill, I am not hungry at all,I have managed to drink apple juice thats it. Yesterday while shopping I collapsed,and it is scaring me has any one got any advice as what I can do to make myself feel like drinking more:help: thankyou for your help Deb

It is a shame when our partners dont support us.My husband was against me having this surgery,and nothing I did could change his mind. I refused to give up on the idea not only for health reasons but I want to do this for me. He then decided the marriage was over and his parting words to me were"who wants to be married to a fat slob anyway'. This broke my heart but then I thought well there is more to life than someone trying to bring me down and made me more determined to do it. I am due to have my surgery on 28th November and cant wait to prove I did it for me good luck everyone on your journies Deb:)
