I am glad that my message helped. Don't feel guilt or shame - you shouldn't have to. People don't feel guilt about going to gym, getting boob jobs, botox etc, why should you feel guilt about doing something positive for your health. And remeber the decision to tell people that you have a band is upto you - when and if you are ready. the only person I told beforehand was my husband as he was the only person who needed to know. I didn't need to be judged by others that were not walking in my shoes.

All the best I hope your band experience is a happy one.
