:thumbup: Ok so the question is has anyone lost friends because they were going through the procedure? My best friend since 7th grade (14 years) is no longer talking to me because I have decided to have the lap band done. She says that I don’t need it done because she doesn’t think I eat a lot as it is. I think it’s mainly jealousy because she has gained 100lbs since high school. I have tried telling her that I am not doing this for anyone else but myself and my 5 year old son. I have been over weight my entire life but in the last 6 months I have started having high blood pressure, Sleep Apnea, Fatty liver, high cholesterol, and PCOS. It’s sad that it has come to this. Has any one else lost friends?

It really is a shame that people act like that. But now we know who are real friends are. Congrats on your weight loss. You look great!

I am scheduled for July 27th. A little far out because I had to do it a week that my son would be going to his fathers. Good Luck to all of you during your weight loss journey.
