Good luck to both of you. I really wish my DH would consider it. He's not hugely obese, has a BMI of about 33 which is fine in Australia, he'd be approved easily, especially since he has high blood pressure. He's about 115 kg at the moment, was 125. Over a year he got down to 110 but its going back on again. Poor thing, he spends hours in the car and sitting at a desk, and is really not that big an eater for a big 6ft 3 male.

He's too afraid though. He says if anyone is going to PB all the time, have slippage, erosion and not be able to eat a million foods it will be him. He's always been the bilious one in the family, gets every stomach bug going around, and his mother has an ulcer and terrible reflux/heartburn issues which I suspect he will develop too. Not even seeing me and the success I've had will entice him, I dont want to push it but am gently encouraging.

I think he also fears its not a "masculine" thing to do - I mean how can you go to the football and not be able to have a meat pie and a few beers with your mates, kinda thng. I keep telling him he WILL be able to do that on occasion but he doesnt believe me.

I want him to nip his problem in the bud now. He has a high pressure corporate job and I dont want the father of my children to become a heart attack waiting to happen. As he's about to turn 40, this is playing on my mind a lot.

So good for your hubby!

My DH also has high blood pressure and blood sugar. He is on 150.00 of meds a month so we need him to get this band. He was like heck no when I mentioned I wanted it. Then he started reading this board and it changed his mind. I did nothing... So now we will both be banded in 2 months or so... hehe I am so freaken happy....

Hi Jen and Ken!

I LOVE hearing about banded couples. Its easier to climb a mountain when you have help... Nothing like being in it together!

Good luck to both of you.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
