I was banded approximately one year ago. I started dating a particular person about 4 months after having surgery. I was already down to about 145/150 and he really liked me at that weight. I went on to plummit to 105, before I went back to the surgeon and he loosened the band. My friend actually became angry with me for losing so much weight, and i believ continues to be upset because he makes references to the fact that all of life revolves around eating....birthdays, family meals, parties, etc., and I can't eat very much. He feels that he has to cover for me when we are with friends. I don't tell people I've had the surgery, and i've tried to be very subtle in my eating practices. So, whereas I feel so relieved because I am no longer caught up in that pressure to eat just to eat.....he resents the fact that i can't eat like what he considers "normal". My physician and I agreed that a healthy weight range for me was 120-125, and I have pretty much reached that goal...I'm very happy with my progress, but I don't know how to approach my friend, and his attitudes against my lap band surgery.???:help:
