Hello Everyone! My name is Jordan and I am brand new to this site and in the pre-op stages still. My husband and I are actually going through this together! It's just the 2 of us in the house, and it seems like the perfect time and scenario to do this. We started our journey in March, attending an information session and started our waiting period/pre-op diet and other appointments in June. We just finished up all of our pre op appointments will have everything submitted to insurance hopefully this week! Waiting on pins and needles! I started at my heaviest about 5 years ago, weighing in at 363. I had lost about 20 lbs back then and have maintained that for 5 years. During our pre-op diet, I have so far managed to lose about 30lbs. Getting there, but still a long way to go. We have picked up new and even fun habits like hiking. We love it! Can't wait for the next phase in our journey!

Welcome to the boards. How awesome is it that you will be going thru this journey with your husband!!!! I am glad you found us. Its a great place for information or just to vent!!

Welcome both of you

Wow... how awesome to go thru this with your hubby - you are very lucky. My sister had RNY surgery first and then I had it about 10 months after her, she inspired me to get it done. I never ever knew that insurance paid for this or I would have had it done years ago !!! My sister and I constantly discuss our surgery and what we can and cant eat - it is nice having someone you love right next to you going thru the same thing Good luck and welcome !

Welcome you are going to love it here. Everyone is so helpful and nice. Good luck with everything and it is wonderful that you get to take this Journey with your husband.

Thank you everyone! It truly is wonderful to be able to go through this with my husband because we have a built in support system at home. This site is wonderful! I have already learned a lot and enjoy reading about all of your journeys. Good luck to everyone and congratulations to those who are feeling and looking great and achieving their goals!

Yeah for great husbands so happy for you

This is so exciting for the two of you. Makes me smile.

I'm Jordans husband and yes I cant wait for the surgery. Many things going through my head on what it will be like after the weight loss, etc. I think we are a somewhat a unique case since we are going through the program and have had great support along the way. Thanks for the kind words.

My husband and I did rny together. I had mine in April and he had his in July.

Nice!

How has it been for you two?

Hi to the both of you and Welcome!! You will love it here, the people are awesome.

Welcome to the group! You are so lucky to be doing this together. Good luck to both of you.

Thank you! We are VERY lucky to be going through this together. We are definitely counting our blessings It enables us to cook only 1 meal, that we both will be eating, vs having to cook everyone else something different and not having those temptations in the house. Thank you everyone for the kind words! I definitely love it on here. A tad addicted though.

Jordan I am addicted as well since day one...

haha, Well I was supposed to be getting ready for work this morning, but kept putting it off because I wasn't done reading some threads.
