I decided not to disclose the fact that I was being banded. Only my husband knows and he is extremely supportive. I really did not want to get everyone's opinion. Most people think that if you would just get some will power and stop eatting, you will lose weight. I have had so many suggestions and opinions about weight loss, I feel I do not want to deal with the opinion of the lap band. Most are not aware of the lap-band procedures. I do not want to have everyone at work thinking that I am weak because I cannot lose weight on diet & excercise alone. I am a Controller with a company in a man's working environment. So I feel very strongly not letting them know what is going on. Why not just reap the rewards of losing weight and not worry about everyone else's opinion.
Had lap band 2/20/07 and lost 11 pounds.
