My husband was banded on Feb 23. I will be banded on march 14th. I am a little nervous because of some of the issues that my husband has had with hunger that we are still working on but above all i am so excited to finally have this done.

I think it is cool too that you are both banded around the same time. I wish my hubby and I could do it at the same time but he is still in denial I think and needs time. I think once he sees success he will be more open to it. I too am getting VERY nervous about surgery coming (march 24) but I chatted last night with 2 people in the chat room that made me feel so much more at ease! Try hooking up with a bandster here too and chatting.

It definitely is great when a husband and wife get banded together. My husband and I were banded an hour apart from each other. So basically, we have been able to have a constant support team. He knows what it feels like to have something get stuck, and we both can share frustrations together. Even though you and your husband have the surgery, don't be suprised if you experience a total different experience. Especially with what will/won't go down. Also, try not to compare your weighloss totals. They could vary greatly. Good luck with your surgery in March!!

Wow. The only thing that I could have wished to improve my banding experience would have been to do it with someone I'm close to--someone I live with, even. You are so lucky!! Good luck to both of you and please come and let us know how you're doing.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
