My hubby was banded about one hour ago. Dr said he did well. He was on the liquid diet since last Tues. When he weighed last monday he was 419 today he is 397.

However, we had a scare - hospital wanted to cancel his surgery because of his insurance (medicaid). Our dr went to bat and pleaded with them to let him continue since my husband had done everything that was needed. The admin board agreed to continue on this one case. I am ever soooo thankful for our dr and the board.

Looking forward to seeing all the new changes.

Congrats on his success. There's a whole "men's group" section here he might want to check out. Sounds like he's doing awesome so far!

That is awesome congrats to him and you :thumbup:

That is so awesome!!

Men tend to lose rather quickly as well. There have been some that have lost 100 lbs in 6 months! Which is amazing. I'm glad his insurance went through with it and he was able to get this surgery that will change both of your lives for the better!

Congratulations to your husband. It's so nice to see he was successful in getting banded. Please keep us informed on how he is doing!
