Hey! It's really interesting how people react and I understand what you're saying about certain people who feel jealous. Prior to getting banded a friend of mine was banded and lost a lot of weight...I overheard a group of our friends saying how it was easy for her because they felt she "cheated". I think alot of people become comfortable with the role we play as the non-threatening "fat friend" and do become jealous of our weight loss success. I accept compliments quietly and let everyone know how hard I work out and leave it at that! I think besides a dieting tool, it will prove to be a tool for weeding out unsupportive people in our lives!
