At least you were smart enough to get off! When I was in high school when I couldn't buckle I just hid it on my side, talk about an air ride! LOL It hurts but just think it was not a prophecy you are on the way toward liberation!

Have you tried Craigslist? There's always some exercise equipment for cheap or since your husband is in the military there is a website for government workers that is a great source for equipment and everything else. I know your hubby said he's support you but many people do not understand what that means. Especially people who are fit, like most military personnel. Wine, him dine him and tell him what to say to you for support and how you NEED him to respond. Many people just don't get it. Love him anyway and look to others for your band support. Good luck!

I agree that your husband has to be on board and believe in the help you will receive. From a cost effectiveness, price out the cost if you get Type II diabetes, leg problems from being overweight, compromised immune system, being unable to work or take care of your family, the fact that obesity can prematurely terminate your life. Play hardball, make him understand that this is needed for your health both mental and physical! Perhaps you can have your primary care doctor talk to him and explain the danger you are in. Good luck!

I loved your post. I totally agreed with you prior to my banding. I did this to myself and I needed to get the pounds off myself! What a reality check, when you're in pain and hungry it really does help to have someone in your corner rooting for you. At least they didn't sing! I was banded on June 8 so we're going through alot at the same time. I have found this website to be more informative than the doctors. I haven't suffered with nausea yet and have tried to spice up my mushies. I love spicy food and was terrified I wouldn't be able to have it. I hope you stop hurting soon.
