Hi everyone. I just got banded on the 29th of october. Iam kinda sore and have alot of gas. I really havent been able to eat since but i was told it was because of the swelling. I hope i made the right choice. people always told me i was a big guy and some said i was fat. but when it got close for me to have the surgery people said to me why? You arent fat you are just a big guy. My girlfriend really isint happy either she says she liked me how i was,i dont get it i just want to love myself and feel better about myself. I:unsure: think that would improve your relashionships if you feel better about yourself right? well this is all new to me and i hope everything goes ok for me, can anyone help me understand?
