Identical Twins and Lap Band

[Dolores33778 248]

I'm an identical twin we both have a lap band. She had hers about 3.5 years before me, but we're close to the same zone now (getting there).

It's typical for my band to be tighter with stress and she actually feels it as well. And now she had a fill a couple of weeks ago and I feel like I had one too. I'm not complaining at all because I love the extra restriction here and there, just wanted to know if anyone else has the same feelings.

This is so fascinating to me! I am actually a triplet but only identical to one sister (plenty of photos in my album on my profile). My identical sis and I have almost always been overweight, but I've always been a bit heavier. there was one point about 10-12 years ago where she lost all of her weight because she contemplated joining the army, but that didn't happen and getting married and having four kids did. She supports me and my band journey but I don't know that she would ever do it herself. Did your sis having it done motivate you?

But as for feeling stuff, there are times we will have sort of premonitions (probably too strong of a word, but or lack of a better one) if one of us is feeling off or something, but our periods are still in sync, even 2 states away from each other!

Yes, seeing your twin a size 4.....the best motivation ever!

We too have those feelings. Many times i'll just get a call or text from her "what's wrong?" because she feels something.

Pretty cool feeling....hard to explain to others.

Best of luck on your weight loss!
