Any couples sleeved with their SO/Spouse? Or do you know any?

I have my surgery in a few weeks and hubby has his a week after mine. Doctor offered to do us both on the same day, but we needed to juggle our kids.

Anyone else?

Husband and I were sleeved together in Mexico on 8/1.

Mother in law watched our 4 year old. We recooped together and it was the best thing we have done!

My wife and I were sleeved 6 weeks apart (me 03/08/13, her 04/19/13). We wanted to do it closer together, but she had issues with getting time off from work.

Great! I have often wondered if getting sleeved (or any WLS) "together" avoids some of the emotional pitfalls of one person doing it and shifting the dynamic of the relationship? Obviously I know the "bad relationship gets worse and good relationship gets better" thought... but I wonder if both persons having WLS puts it on a different playing field? The "bad" stories on all the forums seem to be when only one makes massive changes. I haven't really seen many where both do it and both make massive changes. I mean it will be a wee tad harder to pull any passive aggressive crap when you both can't eat anything and you both physically feel the same way.

My fiance and I are both getting sleeved the same day--Sept 30th. I think it'll make the pre-op dieting and all the stages easier by going through it together.

My husband is doing bypass on Tuesday, and I am getting sleeved in September. Doing it together is sooo much easier than any diets we have tried alone

Yup! August 2nd was our date. So nice having a friend to do it all with.

My girlfriend was sleeved on 7/8 and I was sleeved on 8/14. I couldn't see myself doing this without her. I feel like our relationship is 10x stronger since we've been on this journey.

Good luck to everyone!!!!!!!
