I am just curious to the number of banded couples here. My hubby is getting banded on the 16th.

We had surgery the same day. We lost 150lbs before surgery and we have lost a little over 150lbs since surgery. You can check out our web site

My hubby has a BMI of about 32, he'd have no real trouble getting banded in Australia. He thinks if he tries really hard for once and for all he can lose the 25kg he needs to lose. But he's been trying to do it for over 15 years. I think he'll end up getting a band at some point in time.

He works 11 hour days sitting at a desk, he simply cannot keep to eating a small enough amount of food for such a sedentary lifestyle. He walks at lunchtimes etc but it only just maintains for sitting at a desk 11 hours and spending another 2 hours in the car every day.

My hubby & I are hopefully going to get banded the same day (we're pre-op). We both qualify & are self-pay, so cross your fingers that all goes well... our surgeon consultation is today.

I was banded last year in Febuary...and my fiance was banded on Friday!!

We are now band buddies!!!

My hubby was banded November, and I was a month later. We figured from the start that the best way to succeed would be together. I was scheduled to be the first one, back on Sep 30th---but Hurricane Rita sent

us evacuating for a month up to East Tx, so my original date came and went. So, after rescheduling after the hospital was repaired, we ended the year with both of us banded! He's lost 50, and I've lost 25. He feels restriction alot, but I have never felt any kind of restriction whatsoever. Anyway, that's our story! :thankyou:

my partner and I was banded on the same day, we are having a wonderful experience because we know what each other is going through.

My DH was banded about 2 and a half years ago, and I was banded this last March. He's a Rabbit's Rabbit, while I'm, well, no. :thankyou:
