Hi all;

I am so happy!

My partner of 10 years and I are both getting banded. Me first on March 3- on clear liquids- yuk. And she on March 10. Both by Tom Brown in Denver.

We are so good together when we are working on a goal. She is the best!

We need to get healthy and are suffering from food addictions. Our next goal is to get this food and weight thing under control.

More later.

Best and love to you all;

Sadie

Just a bit of advice, it may be a good idea to get banded 2 weeks apart, instead of just a week. I know a week out I was still not 100%. On day 9 I made it to the outlet mall and that was draining. I'm sure you're going to want to be there for one another so spacing them out by two weeks will make supporting one another easier. I don't know your support system but it is something to consider.

Hey Sadie congratulations to the both of you.

Me and my sweetie was both banded on the same day. It has really worked out well for us, well most of the time. I had a lot more weight to lose then she did. She lost most of hers really fast within the 1st year, me I was really slow, she stopped losing and then I started losing really fast after the 1st year. So there has been those moments of jealousy between us about each others weight lose. I reached my goal this January, and went under an additional 10lbs. She now wants to lose an additional 20 lbs. too get to her goal, I don't blame her. I want her to reach her goal. When she reaches her goal we will have about a 10 lbs difference between us.

My band got to tight due to stress I had to have 2 cc removed two weeks ago, this was the second time that I had to have fluid removed. The 1st time I had only 1/2 cc removed about 8 mos ago. So I should not be losing any more, I hope just to maintain my self. It has been wonderful to be able to eat again.

By the way we will be celebrating our 16 yrs together this fall and there is 17 years ages difference between us.

I wish you the best of luck if you have any question just give me a shout.

Keep us updated on your progress. And welcome to bandland.
