Dh and i were done two years apart. Its neither here nor there for us in tems of it being an advantage, we are both completely different in our approach. Dh is less proactive and lets his band do the work, i was very much in charge of my band. Consequently i lost 120% of my excess weight and dh lost about 65%. He is happy with that though, whereas i wouldnt be. And we dont exercise together, he is waaaaay too lazy for me!

it might be easier if you have them a few months apart. I know my husband helped me so much after the surgery.

we have dogs, I couldn't bend down to get their food, I could lift one of them, he did the vacuuming for me. So many other things that I really appreciated!

I believe it will be a while before we get anything done . We attended the seminar a couple of weeks ago and set up the consultation . I have Bluecross blueshield whitch requires a lot of stuff to get approved for surgery 6 month supervised diet.

Definitely have the procedure at least a month apart. For the first few days, I needed my husband's help because I kept experiencing "turtle syndrome" (as he called it). I'd get stuck on my back and I couldn't get out of bed. It was hilarious and laughing hurt!
