Oh dear i got banded 8-2-10 and was in the same shoes asking this too,but i handed up just telling ma DH and ma bro, Everyone else i told them i had gall bladder issue's. Coz now that i have found a new tool and new family that doesn't judge/ question me or look me down am done with the old, you know the why dont you try this and that and all those so called friends. so i decided am done with haters and confusion and will work on me.
