My husband and I are both getting sleeved..... Mine is in July and his is in August.... Are there any couples out there that have been sleeved together?....... Was is a struggle????

My hubby wants to see how I do before he decides to get sleeved. I haven't gotten my date yet, but I'm interested in hearing what others have to say. Thanks for posting this topic.

Hi! I was sleeved in February, and my hubby will be sleeved in early August...I think it will be so much easier when he can eat the way I eat...poor guy, I almost never cook anything other than fish and chicken! He's a good sport, though. I'm really looking forward to having him sleeved, too!

I'm the guinea pig apparently since I'm having my surgery next week, and he's waiting to see how I do. Men ... such wussies

This is a hilarious thread! My husband is just like all of yours in that he wants to see how I do first.

Us women have to do it all I am actually excited to show him that it can be done. I get sleeved July 19th!!!

Good luck Ladies!

Yeah my husband also wants me to go first to see how the pain is lol..... I think he only wants the sleeve because he don't wanna be big alone :-)

That is funny because my husband keeps asking if I am going to get skinny and leave him. I assured him that my focus is to be healthy NOT skinny. To be honest I've never been skinny and I don't think it's my natural state.

Good luck! Convincing the husband also

My wife and I are one of those couples. She had her's May 15th and mine is June 19th. She wanted to go first and I was okay with that. I'm currently in my pre-op diet and to be very honest, it is so much easier as we have both gone through this together. We both know what we need, and shopping is much easier for our meals.

So far it hasn't been a struggle at all!

Good luck to both of you!

Yes! My hubby and I decided we would do this together. We have a 6 yr old so we didnt wanna do it exactly the same time. Mine was April 9 and my hobo by was April 30. We are both doing amazing and it's so awesome to have eachother as support since we both know what the other is going thru!

Lol @ hobo! I meant hubby.

My hubby is 6/13 and I'm scheduled for 6/20, we have had a great journey together thus far

Hubby and I are both sleeved as well! I went first because I wanted WLS and he wasn't planning on it. About 3-4 months into my 6 month insurance hoop-jumping, he had a change of heart and started his own journey.

I will say that even though the men tend to lose faster, I've still lost more than he has. I'm 19 months post-op and he is 15 months post-op, I've lost about -100 and he's lost about -70. So we both still have work to do, but it has been great that we did this together. We share a meal at times if the mood strikes, otherwise we have leftovers.

Best thing we ever did for our health!!

My wife had the band 10 years ago but back then I didn't need the surgery. When it came time for me to choose I went with the sleeve after seeing all the problems she's had with the band. But now she sees how successfull I was she wants the sleeve but dosent weigh enough for insurance to pay for it!!

I get sleeved on 1-16 and my hubby is on 2-6. We decided to do this together but we both have very different journeys. I am looking forward to hearing about other couples journeys!

I went self pay for gastric bypass - it might be worth considering self pay
