How many couples have done the band?

Hi all. I know from reading that I saw that one couple had both been through the banding. Just wondering how many other couples has done it? I'm 53 and hubby is 57. My BMI is 46+ and his is 51+, so we are both in pretty bad shape. Turning in our paper work this week. Can't wait to finally get started.

DH and I were banded 3 years apart, both at a BMI of 36.

He had his back in June this year. He's really only starting to lose significant weight now with good restriction (finally).

He hasnt lost as well as I did because he's really lazy and does no exercise, lol.

I think there's another recent thread along this same line. My husband and I were banded the same day, a little over a year ago. We have each lost close to 80 lb.

my hubby and i are both banded. we were both banded 04/06, but i had to have mine removed then replaced in 11/07 due to slippage. to date he has lost about 225lbs and i have lost about 75lbs. i love having him do this with me. we feed off each others support. his bmi was over 50 when we started and now it is almost in the 20's. mine was about 39 i think and i am in the high 20's. i would definitely recommend it if you are both looking at doing this.

My wife and I were both banded on 9/12/07.

Between the 2 of us we have lost almost 200 lbs.
