Any husband and wife sleevers?

My surgery date is August 5th and my husband has his first consult today. We want to do it as close together as possible. It will be great for support. Your thoughts? BTW, I had my consult and approval all in less than 2 weeks!

How are you guys doing?

We're doing great now. The first night was rough, but now we both feel overall very good. We were discharged from the hospital this morning. Our swallow tests came out fine and we finally got our first taste of broth in 72 hours! It was heavenly.

Glad to hear all the success everyone has had doing this together. Me & husband just had our psych eval & cardiologist appts. We just want to wrap up all these loose ends ASAP.

Hi all, my wife and I are also getting sleeved together. My wife is scheduled for 8/13 and I am scheduled for 9/10. We're really looking forward to our new journey. We already have a great marriage and I know this will bring us even closer. Good luck everyone! And to those of you who have already been sleeved...keep up the good work!

First baby speed bump in our post op journey. Steve is in ER now with dehydration and low bp. 76/43. Eek. ( He kept feeling like He was going to pass out). They are giving him IV fluids, of course stopping his bp med and checking his blood values. He's already starting to feel a little better with 1/2 bag of the IV fluids and bp is now 104/63 so moving in the right direction. On a positive note - he no longer has high blood pressure! Prayers appreciated everyone. :)

Good thoughts and prayers coming you're way....keep us updated!!!!

Got discharged from the ER around midnight last night but all is well now. Thanks for the prayers!

I'm so happy he's doing better! I pray for a rapid recovery and much success to you both.

My wife and I are about 3 weeks apart. Jan and feb this year. Helped us both out!!! I'm down 86 and she is down 85. Best decision ever.

Down 85 lbs in 7-8 months! That's fantastic. We're 12 days post-op and he is down 26 lbs and I'm down 21 so we're pretty happy so far.

My husband was sleeved on Thursday and I home recovering. My surgery date is October 4th.

Congrats to all of the couple who have or will be sleeved. I wish you all well on your respective journeys. You all are an inspiration to all overweight couples. The fact that both in the relationship are going through it together should help with managing your respective diets and any mood swings.

I was sleeved in February and I am down 95lbs. However, I have an inter-weight marriage and she has never had a weight problem. My wife has been my biggest supporter since she has been around through my various weight stages.

Again I say, good luck to you all.

How are the husband/wife sleevers doing? Updates please! Here's ours : My husband is a beast. He has lost 75 pounds (including preop) and is under 300 for the first time in years. I just hit my first goal as of this morning - 50 lbs down.(including preop) and and in the 250s :) Surgery date August 3rd
