  1. New to the forum, and considering Lap Band and Gastric Bypass. A couple of questions- Why is Lap-Band so much slower in dropping weight? I think I understand the mechanics of both procedures but this difference eludes me. Why does the Lap Band seem to stop at 50% of the extra weight you need to lose? Thanks!

    Satisfied, while DH isn't.

    I think I'm the only male to reply to your post, so maybe I see things differently than some. I'm also the one who is 100 lbs overweight and considering LB surgery. That said... Anyone who steps between you and your food decisions is making a mistake. Your husband means well and he wouldn't say anything if he didn't care, because saying something almost always results in discord. He's probably seen the anger and sadness and utter despair you've gone through over the years, and he also probably sees your relationship with food as similar to an alcoholic with liquor. I don't know if I believe in food addiction per se, but if addiction really is measured by consequences, then your husband probably thinks your Easter snack could easily turn into a quick descent that he's seen you suffer through before. So I understand how your husband feels, being helpless in this situation. Unfortunately, his hovering over your eating will only make things harder for both of you. Help him understand that it doesn't help, but understand too that he's trying to help.
