I was banded August 07 and lost 85 pounds. I went from wearing a size 44-46 pants to a 36-38 and from 2x and 3x shirts to M and L. My DW and I have been married for 13 years this December and she too has been banded and has lost more wieght than I have. We have both slowly turned into people that we both thought we would never imagine ourselves being. She looks for attention everywhere she can get it and flirts with every man thats near seeking more. She goes out with her girlfriends on all night drinking sessions and leaves me home with the kids. (her excuse is she needs to blow off steam). I have been feeling left behind and lonely. Although she tells me it is my own self concusioness because she is commited to US. Her myspace is cluttered with DRUNKen pics and wild nights out. All backed by her friends and their support of YOU NEED ME TIME! So needless to say I began chatting (ONLINE ONLY) to a woman I used to work with through an email address that my DW had no idea I even had. And although we never physically (HOOKED UP, had sex) our conversations were inapporpirate at times and were sexual in nature at times. And to make a longe story short my DW found the email address and now I have slept with evey woman from every state between TN and FL. The DW believes this is all my fault and does not want to take responsibility for her actions. I agree that what I did was wrong and I am commiting myself to try and keep us together by going to therapy and consuling. To sum this all up I just wonder sometimes if this would have ever happened without the weight loss. Maybe the saying of being fat and happy is true. But I sometimes regret ever being banded!! thanks everyone for listening to me rant!:thumbup:

My personal goal for the 50 pound mark was to get some new work out clothes. :clap2: My goal for the 100 pound mark is a new color 30gig Ipod to assist with all the miles I have been putting on the treadmill at the gym.:clap2: Now my wife has other goals in mind for me which include shaving my head bald once I hit the 100 pound goal and leaving the goatee and mustache:eek: Ken Banded 08/22/06 Dr. Woodman

wilsonjw23, I am to be banded the following day, the 22nd! I am feeling the nerves as well, mainly beucause I have never been put under before. My DW was the guinea pig for me as she had the same procedure done 3 weeks ago. She is doing fine now but I still have the nerves about the procedure. Let me know how it goes. Ken DH to JMO
