Does anyone other half (boyfriend/spouse) think ur gonna change after da band. Like they r a little jelous and u haven't gad da surgery yet. U just want their support on this.. am I alone.

Some people are afraid that after u get the band u won't be able to handle all the positive attention and u might leave them or get yourself into trouble. Try to let your sig other know how much u care about them and that u would never hurt them that way. It is an actual stastical fact that some people respond that way when their body changes drastically. Of course there are some men who are jealous for no reason and feel they can't control u as well if u have confidence and option.

My hubby "joked " about this for months before I had the surgery. I finally had to tell him that enough was enough. I was not going anywhere, I was the same me and I was happy with him. I expressed my unhappiness with my weight and health issues to him, and then the light bulb went off. I am three weeks post op and he is my biggest support! He makes sure I remember to take my Vitamins and makes my meals for me. Men are funny and can be a bit insecure at times. Hang in there.

I hope everything works out for you. My husband is my greatest supporter on this journey. Occasionally he makes jokes about other men but he knows that he is the only one for me. Always has been, always will be. After all, where would I ever find another man who changes his lifestyle to support me becoming healthier?
