Dh and i were done two years apart. Its neither here nor there for us in tems of it being an advantage, we are both completely different in our approach. Dh is less proactive and lets his band do the work, i was very much in charge of my band. Consequently i lost 120% of my excess weight and dh lost about 65%. He is happy with that though, whereas i wouldnt be. And we dont exercise together, he is waaaaay too lazy for me!

it might be easier if you have them a few months apart. I know my husband helped me so much after the surgery.

we have dogs, I couldn't bend down to get their food, I could lift one of them, he did the vacuuming for me. So many other things that I really appreciated!

I believe it will be a while before we get anything done . We attended the seminar a couple of weeks ago and set up the consultation . I have Bluecross blueshield whitch requires a lot of stuff to get approved for surgery 6 month supervised diet.

Definitely have the procedure at least a month apart. For the first few days, I needed my husband's help because I kept experiencing "turtle syndrome" (as he called it). I'd get stuck on my back and I couldn't get out of bed. It was hilarious and laughing hurt!

Then again, i was out exercising the day after my surgery and my hubby didnt find it difficult either.

my bro in law had it last may 15th, and his wife( my sis in law ) had it 2 weeks later on june 1st. both said that it worked out fine for them. as of christmas he has lost 110lbs, and she has lost 45 lbs. they both look great !!!

My husband had his surgery April 1st and I had mine August 19. He says it's the best decition ever, because it made our life so much easier, we now understand what we can and can't eat. He is down 98lbs and I'm down 44lbs.
