I have been banded since last July and will be filing for a divorce this week. My husband didn't say he was against the surgery but since it has been a battle. But I think for me is now that I have the self esteem that I was lacking now he can't handle it. But I will say there were issues before but I think the 75lbs lost was the last straw for him. Guess it just shows some of his insecurities.

I was banded 8/15/09. I am down 70 lbs. as of yesterday. Feeling great. I can eat really anything only twice has something gotten stuck. I don't eat bread because that is a change I wanted to make. I do exercise alot. Plus I really watch what I eat. Feeling great was the best thing I ever did.

I was also banded on July 15th on Mushies for 2 weeks before starting full foods. Down 21 lbs. the last time I checked, trying not to weight myself to often. Feeling good but hungry at times.
