My husband will be getting a sleeve and I'll get an RNY (because of gerd and hernia) hopefully next month. We are getting surgery clearance from our MD on Wednesday (hopefully!!!) And NUT too, then seeing the psych the following Monday then final approval from insurance- UHC JPMogan Chase. We are going through their bariatric program and have gotten first approval already.

Hubby and I want to be on the same/similar food track to make this easier for both of us with our meals and accountability.

I was sleeved May 8, 2013 and my wife July 8, 2013. While my surgery and recovery were textbook, hers was a bit more challenging. She had two hernias repaired and it took about 3-4 weeks for her to quit complaining...uh-hm, I mean start to feel better!

Now, that period of time is a distant memory! She can tolerate just about everything, albeit in moderation. I can eat almost everything, but for some weird reason, still have a tough time with canned tuna fish!? I can eat steak, chicken, fresh tuna steaks, roast, crawfish, ribs, etc., etc....but canned tuna just doesn't sit well w/me. No worries, I can live without it!

am down 117 lbs. and hit my original goal around 4 months ago.

My wife is down 80 lbs. and hit her goal about 3 months ago (She looks fantastic, but she's on a mission...I told her I don't want to feel like I'm hugging a sack of hammer handles!).

Very thankful we decided to do it together.

Godspeed for a rapid recovery and fantastic journey for y'all!

Check out @@gamergirl's posts, she and her husband are both sleevers . . . I think they got sleeved together but am not sure.

My fiance and I will be going down to Mexico to have gastric sleeves on May 31st! I will do my best to keep up on this site how our journey is going. I'm pretty nervous but also very hopeful
