There is a couple in my support group that have both been banded. Our surgeon suggested they have the surgery 2 weeks apart so they could help take care of each other but it worked out well for them. They are each others support and they love going out to eat and being able to "Share" a meal! Good luck to you both!

I had surgery on Dec. 3, 2008 and am down about 80 lbs to date. My wife is scheduled for surgery on June 3, 2009.

We wanted to have surgery together in Dec. but things didn't work out.

Can't wait for her to have it done. It will make meal planning soooo much easier.

All the money saved on grocery's can pay for all the great new clothes!

Hi everyone my husband and I were both banded a week apart. He went first and then I went in a week later. We are

both only in the early stages of our journey together, he at nearly 3 weeks post op and I nearly 2. I can't imagine doing it any other way than together we really have a great support team between us. :unsure:

It certainly is a different road that we both travel he is finding things really easy :lol:with very few problems I on the other hand am having to do things a little harder . But that's ok the results are already showing for both of us and we are their for each other no matter what. :laugh:

I too would love to hear how other couples are doing also... We laugh about our matching scars and are so looking forward to a healthy and much longer life together... Good luck to you all....

My husband and son were both approved yesterday. WAHOOOOOOOO!!!! Hubby and I already had our sleep studies scheduled for yesterday so that was fun! NOT :thumbup: But we survived and had a lot of laughs while getting hooked up with all the wires THAT IS SEXY!

Son has surgery on 6-11...Hubby and myself are the same day 6-18 he goes first, they will let me know he is awake and ok and then they are knocking me out... WE CAN'T WAIT. I still cant belive BCBS approved all three of us. Our new lives await.

We three of us doing this it should be a pretty good support system at home. We will have our own version of "Biggest Loser!"

Wish us luck... Let me know how you are doing. I would love to hear and see your progress!

My husband and I were banded 2 weeks apart. I was banded on March 20 and he on April 3. It had been going really well. At first he was able to eat whatever he wanted and I was getting stuck all the time...until yesterday when he got his first fill...now he knows what I was going through. :thumbup:

This isn't quite the same, but my mom and I are taking the journey together! W were supposed to get it done around the same time, but she went ahead and had hers done in November '08. I'm a little bit behind, but we're really looking forward to being able to share meals and I know she'll be able to help me through a lot. :thumbup: I think having someone who has been through it makes everything a lot easier!
