Any couples out there both sleeved?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved in March, and my hubby is scheduled for July 28. Just wondering if there are others out there, and how are you doing?

Yes I was sleeved August 2014 and my husband was sleeved September 2014! We are doing great and do not have any regrets!

Hi, Kathy! Thanks for your response! He is a trooper, closing in on his 3rd week of Optifast! The VA's pre-op is strict, but they get excellent results. We are both veterans, and appreciate all that our VA has done for us! We are the first couple to have gone through this...in our state.

My husband was sleeve March 5th and I was sleeved March 31st. I have lost about 60 pounds and my husband around the same. It was the best thing we have ever done for ourselves. I also learned that both of our journeys are different and we shouldn't try to compare our weight loss. Good luck to both of you!

My husband and I were both sleeved within a week of each other. It made life easier in a lot of ways that we both did it. The hardest part for me was that the weight fell off of him a lot faster. The further out we got from surgery although I continued to lose I did slowed WAY down.

I kinda wish our surgeries would have been closer, but I'm glad we'll both be on the same page soon! You're so right about not comparing...of course he is losing way faster on his pre-op diet than I did. Maybe it's better that I got the jump on him! LOL

Those darn guys! They usually lose so much faster than us. Slow and steady wins the race (not that it's a race) LOL :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
