Azgunslinger I Am A 39 Yr Old Woman With 2 Boys Ages 12 And 14. I Too Am A Stay At Home Mom. My Husband Owns 2 Car Dealerships, A Wholesale Co., And Builds Houses, So Needless To Say He Is Never At Home. I Think Your Wife Has A Misconception Of What Depression Is. I Was Not The Crying Sad Depressed Person People Imagine. I Was Angry, Thought No One Understood How Hard Things Were For Me, Wanted To Stay In The House Cause It Was Just Easier. And Would Never Admitt Anyone Besides Myself Was Ever Right. All Them Feelings Are Now Gone Because One Day I Decided A Prozac A Day Was Easier To Swallow Than Knowing I Was Wasting My Life. I'm Sure She Has Joulousy Toward Your Career And What She Thinks Is Your Freedom She Feels She Doesn't Have. She Doesn't Realize Freedom Is Getting To A Place Where You Are Comfortable Saying I Am Doing The Best I Can Possibly Do And Truly Meaning It And Not Lying To Yourself. Everyone Needs To Be Appreciated And Loved Unconditionally. Sometimes 1 Kind Word Is All It Takes. Maybe A Phone Call During The Day Not Because You Want Anything But To Just Say You Love Her. Just That Can Make Her Feel Like She Is A Part Of Your World Not Just When You Walk In The Door. If She Was Like Me The Reason She Wouldn't Go With You On Trips Has Nothing To Do With The Kids It Has To Do With The Pressure Of Having To Come Up With Clothes That Fit And Actually Look Good Enough On You To Be In Public. When Your Overweight You Notice What Every Other Woman Looks Like And How Put Together Everyone Else Seems To Be. And The Worse Yet Is Now Having To Be Introduced To People She Has Never Met. Before She Was Just Your Wife At Home Taking Care Of The Kids Now People Have A Face And A Body To Put With It. That Can Be Horrible. Even More Horrible If You Don't Feel Good About Yourself. No One Wants To Be The Fat Wife. She Says She Likes Herself But If She Did She Would Not Be Hiding From The World.until She Realizes How Important Her Job Is And How Her Behavior Is Affecting The Kids She Will Remain The Same. She Needs To Realize You Only Get One Shot At Raising Wonderful Kids And One Life To Make Everything The Way You Dream. It Can All Be Taken Away Tomorrow. And I Personally Would Hate To Think I Slept Through It All. Try To Get Her On This Website I Would Love To Talk To Her. I Know Exactly How She Feel. I Was Banded On 9/05/06 And Have Lost 40lbs. I Am Actually Going On A Trip With My Family To Fl. In A Week That A Year Ago I Would Have Made Excuses On Why I Couldn't Go. Life Is Now Great And My Husband And I Talk Alot About What We Are Going To Do In Our Retirement. I Hope Your Wife Can Get Where I Am Soon. Peolple Say That It Has Nothing To Do With Weight It Is About Self-esteem But When Your Heavy Its Hard To Feel Good About Yourself. Your Tired, Irratible, And A List Of Many Other Things. Good Luck, I Hope This Helped.

In Wisconsin The Band Cost 17,500. With Fills For 1 Yr. Office Visits Once A Month And Use Of Thier Gym.

Hi. I Am New To This Site And Am Not Sure What I Am Doing Yet. I Have Never Been On A Chat Site. I Was Banded On 9/05/06. To Date I Have Lost About 40lbs. I Was Kind Of Disappointed Because At My Six Week Visit They Wouldn't Fill. I Was Starving And Was Starting To Feel Very Hungry And Out Of Control. But Wouldn't Fill Because Of My Weight Loss. The Only Reason I Have Done So Well Is Because I Was Self Pay And Don't Want To Fail. Does The Horrible Hunger Go Away Once You Get A Fill. I Didn't Have This In The First Four Weeks After Surgery.
