Hi! I am new to this site and have learned so much reading all of the threads posted. I have been overweight my whole life. The only one in my family. I have tried every diet and exercise craze known to man. I am 55 and determined to take this tool and all that I learned with my team and the great suggestions from all of you. I don't have a date exactly but my doc said it will be may. I am so lucky my husband is being sleeved in June. New life for us both!

How exciting to have someone to go through this with!! My husband is insanely supportive, even pre-op dieting with me, though I expect that will change come 2 weeks of liquids!! Lol but, he is very fit and athletic. He has always been into sports and lifting weights, so just hasn't ever battled his weight like I do. My mom and sister got lap bands together and have really enjoyed having each other to turn to through their experiences!! Hopefully you two will be a great support for each other. Always easier with a buddy... Especially if you're in love with him!!
