I have been banded since oct. 2010 and I have traveled by plane since surgery. But now I have reached my sweet spot (green zone)@ times it is hard for me to get down more than 2 or 3 bites without having the hiccups or feeling uncomfortable. In the past I have heard people say that their band tightened up on them after they flew. I am going to Vegas in a few weeks and I don't want to be miserable. So my question is should I get a slight unfill Before I leave? Can some of you please give me your past experiences. Thanks!

I had my lap band in Oct of 2010. since thenI have lost over 70 pounds and my body along with my confidence has completely changed. for the better i might add. I have also opened up a new business that is doing very well. So needless to say allot has changed for me the past 8 months. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 18 years and we have 4 kids, My question is how is everyone dealing with their new found life? Has anyone actually cheated on their spouse or significant other since loosing weight? I love my husband but i have to admit I have changed so much since the surgery. Sometimes I feel like I am getting a fresh chance to start all over again. I am really struggling in my marriage right now and wanting to know how everyone is dealing with life after loosing weight? Has anyone gotten a divorce after loosing weight? Please share your stories. Thanks in advance for all your support.

@ Bay LOL!!! Thanks!

roziecakes and mom I just want to thank you for not being so judgmental. I am human! sorry that i had to seem so rude in my post but I don't think that putting someone else down because of your views is right. @ Mom your post was very helpful. Sorry you had to go through so much before you learned. But sometimes our past can make us better people. Thanks again everyone for your replies. I will not reply back any further because I am very upset now and i really shouldn't be for just asking a question. I have taken everything in that was said. Have a great day!

You are a FOOL Awkward Cstomer!! I don't say that lightly no I should have said a DAMN FOOL!!! I have never had an abortion and there you go again offending someone that might have had one on this forum. You are not God and you can't judge me! Oh and sorry i didn't know you was a man... SO your wife must have left you for a skinny man. Tats even more funnier!!! Please do us all a favor and don't reply on my post ever again. and oh yeah go do me a even bigger favor and go jump off a bridge.

ok Awkard Customer... first of all Your tone is very nasty! I don't think this post is nasty @ all. I think that many people struggle with this same situation but don't know how to address the issue. For you to say he should get rid of me... HOW DARE YOU!!! Let me guess your husband must have left you that is why you are so bitter. Well good for him! HA HA!!! I am usually a very nice person but you really asked for that. Have a great day! For the others that posted. sorry I had to come off like this but she insulted me. Thank you so much for your words of kidness and SUPPORT. This is suppose to be a supposrt forum and not to judge people. I am willing to do whatever it takes to keep our marriage together. We have built so much together and I know that there is not much out there. I have been with him since I was 15 yrs old and I am now 34 so just imagine your entire childhood and adulthood with someone and all of a sudden things start to change. We are a strong couple and i do believe that we will make it through this. But I was just wanting to know if anyone else was feeling like this. Thanks again for your support!

Thanks all for your replies. @ Jess55 yes Vegas is higher elevation than where I am currently @. I live in illinois. I am also worried that my sweet spot might be different if I get unfilled. I have been very good about my fills. Since my surgery I have never gotten stuck. So that is why I say I think I am @ my sweet spot. But since my last fill a month ago my band has been acting funny. I really can't eat until late afternoon and as the day goes by I get looser. @ knaroz... Lo! Thanks!! I will try to post a pic.
