Hello, my wife and I are wanting to look into the band. I am 41 BMI and have sleep apnea, and borderline Diabetes. My wife has 41 BMI, osteo-arthritis, and thyroid problems. We have tried to lose weight b4 and have, but it is just temporary. We seem to gain it all back. We have Humana insurance in KY and believe they cover it. We plan on lurking this forum for answers to our questions, I want to thank everyone for posting and thank the admin for creating this site. I believe this has helped and will continue to help people interested in this surgery.

Hello and . I love it when we have a husband and wife team looking at doing this together. You will be an amazing support system for one another.

If you have any questions at all, don't be afraid to ask. We are all here to help and support one another through this wonderful journey.

Hello and welcome. You have come to the right place. No need to just lurk :thumbup: Read lots and ask lots of questions. I too think it is wonderful when a couple go through this journey together. The people here are so friendly and so helpful. I used this site quite a bit before my surgery and had many of my questions answered and concerns addressed. I felt very ready when it came time to get my band. Good luck to you both. Becky

Hello. My husband I both had the surgery last summer. Bes decisions we've ever made! He has lost almost 80 lbs, and you can see what I'm down. I think it makes it easier having him there for support and to push me to exercise. Let me know if you have any questions.
