    My husband and I got sleeved on 4/12, I went first. It has been a bonding experience to do it together! We have been going through exactly the same things at the same time. I had a little postop issue

My husband was sleeved Monday and I am scheduled to have the procedure July 1st. Were any of the wives/husbands a bit scared after watching their spouse go through surgery?

I had my done 1st on May 13th. Then my husband had his 9 days later! He saw me struggle at first and said it would be so easy for him. Men! lol Wrong! He was just like me! He wanted to sleep all the time for the 1st week. Congrats to you both! No regret! I've lost 25 pounds since surgery and my husband has lost 30 pounds! :)

Hi! I'm guessing sleeved on the 19th June, and my hubby is getting his in middle fall to early winter ( he is still in middle of authorizations due to a illness) we are both so excited to do this journey together!
