Question:
Both my husband and myself are over 100 pounds over weight. Can we both be approved?

Both myself and my wife Jen have had the surgery. I have lost 110 pounds snce July 23rd, my wife Jen 27 pounds since December 10. We seperated surgery dates so we could help care for each other. This has been a big success for us. Find a klocal support group meeting and attend. Its the best way to see what surgery can do. Seeing other successful post ops in their new healthier life.

My surgery is next Friday and my husband just started his pre-op and hopes to have his done in March 2002, we purposely spaced ours apart so we could help each other recover. It does not matter insurance wise, it is all an individual case by case basis. Good Luck! Donna

One thing I would say is if you are going to do it some time apart, maybe you should go first so you don't get jealous. Men lose a lot faster! :)
