  1. My wife and myself were both banded 05/15/2009, I was first that morning and she was third, we been threw the whole process together, even our appts. are together. Our first fill is 6/17, I have lost 35 lbs. and she has lost 22 lbs., the best thing is the loose clothes and the smaller size we can fit into. The best thing is the support we give each other, even working out at the gym. Best of luck to you both and keep on losing the weight. Your Friends From Richmond, Va.
