I am new to the site. I had my band inserted on July 2006, so it has been 2 1/2 years. I have lost 90 pounds and have maintined my goal weight now for anout 1 1/2. Yes there have been changes in my life, my marriage and also changes in how I feel about myself. To begin with, I was not happy prior the surgery with my life and then when I lost all of the weight, I felt very secure and independant all of the sudden. After reading the posts, I agree that men approach me even though they know I am married, leaving me to believe I can do better. Again, knowing that I had problems previously did not help my situation. So I agree with most that there are changes that we go thru and also experience life changes as well. My sister also had the surgery and I feel that the weight loss also affected her but I feel it is for the better. We are all living better healthier lives becuase of the band. My concern is that I have an appt. in the am because all of the sudden I have severe acid reflux and can not get rid of it. I have been treated with meds and has not helped. I can not eat without getting sick, the food is not going down, so I either am going to have to have them draw the fluid or there will be a band removed because it may have slipped. I will pray that it hasn't, I can not go without this band. So we will see. Hopes this helps your survey. Pam
