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? B)

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. :lol:

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 :)

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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
