Spouses Sleeved Too



Recommended Posts

I am being sleeved in October and hubby is being done in December...so we will be in the same boat. I would assume it is easier to change your entire lifestyle at your home. At least I know when grocery shopping we are eating the same foods and not special meals for me and different meals for him.

Is your spouse sleeved or getting sleeved?

my hubby and I got ours the same day, same surgeon. it's been just amazing. we have been going through the stages together and fighting the tough first week together. now we are a month out and we are able to support each other and enjoy the journey. :) plus we save tons of money from not eating out and sharing 1 serving of anything!!!!!

My husband and I got the surgery within two weeks of each other. It has as been very helpful having someone to learn with. The one rub though is that my husband has lost 90 pounds, and I have lost 50. You cannot compare a man's loss to a woman's.

Yes I already know all about that ... My pre op diet 10lbs his so far 20 ... He will probably have 40 off before the sleeve and be at 70 the first month. He has more to lose than me though.

My husband and I had our 2 weeks apart. I'm 1 week post op tomorrow and he's starting week 4. It's definitely easier for us. We made the decision to do it together for this purpose. Good luck with yours. I wouldn't go back for anything!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
