Dh had WLS...now it's my turn!!!

Hi all,

My husband Squale had lapband 6 weeks ago, is down 55lbs and now it is my turn.

I am going to the initial consult next week, the nutritionist and psych the week after and hope to have surgery the first week of July.

I've been fat my entire life save a few years as a child...and, after having twins and a singleton in 22 months, decided it was time to make time for me!

So, here I am waiting for insurance approval and a go ahead from the dr.

Looking forward to meeting all of you further!

Rainer

    Congrats! Both of you being banded will be helpful, you can be each other's support. My DH laughs when I go through the things he did, but then again he understands it better then anyone else I know, he already was there.

    Hi there and welcome to LBT! I think it is great when couples go through the banding process together (even if it is a few weeks apart). What a great support system you can be for each other. I hope you get your insurance approved quickly and are in bandland soon!

    Hi Rainer!!

    I've met your nice hubby in real life, and I can't wait to meet you at a support meeting. You and I can be baby bandsters together, since my re-banding is scheduled for June 4 and it feels like I'll be starting from scratch. Welcome to LBT, and I'm sure I'll see you around!!

    Hi ladies,

    Thanks so much for your welcome. Pat is doing such a great job, I'm so proud of him...but, at the same time, I am JEALOUS as heck!!

    Alexandria, Pat told me that you met at the support meeting. He said that you are a sweetheart and very inspirational. And you're right...he is a super nice guy.

    Looking forward to getting to know all of you!

    Rainer
