I was sleeved in February and my husband is scheduled for 2 weeks. He is really excited and I am too for him!

@@Para-thighs Lost my husband never had any issues with recovery. I stayed an extra night the hospital because general anesthesia makes me extremely nauseous. He's done everything so quickly, which I resented at first...but I'm better now!

No, but my husband is thinking about doing this as well, so he is seeing if he can do it on his own one more time before he decides to go through with it. I gave he 6 months to decide and we are in month 3 now and he has only lost 14 lbs. thanks for this topic. I will keep close tabs on it.

Wishing him success on his journey.

For me, after decades of yoyoing, it wasn't a question of could I take it off, it was always about 'keeping' it off!

And because I'm (clearing my throat) older, it's so much harder to lose. Wish the sleeve would have been available in my 40's! Best wishes to you both!

I think there's a special bond when you go through this together. My hubby is excited too!

Is there a change in the grocery bill?

Ours went WAY down, but hubby is on Optifast from the hospital, and I don't eat much yet. I'm sure after he gets on maintenance after surgery it will go up, but I don't think it will ever be a high as it once was. (Even with buying organic, and healthy protein) we simply won't eat as much

Not really for us because eating better is more expensive.

You're right about eating better costs more...I was thinking volume. Also, we're not buying any junk food, that adds up. Trying to stay away from processed food. It's just the two of us, must be a lot harder with a family!

My hubby and I were sleeved the same day, 09/11/14. I went first, he was second, we came home that evening and it's been smooth sailing ever since. He has lost 100 pounds and it at his goal, 153 pounds. I have lost 114 pounds and still have a ways to go. I'm shorter than him but outweighed him quite a bit.

It's truly the best thing we ever did and the journey has brought us so much closer together. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything. :)

Wow! That's awesome! We didn't think we could do it at the same time. One because our hospital was 2 1/2 hours away, and several other factors made it too difficult. I think it's great you went through it together!

Congratulations on your success!!!

Hope we can do as well as you two did!

How's your grocery bill compared to before?

My husband was sleeved Sept 2014 and I will get the bypass July 13 !

He will probably be a big help to you! You're close...two more weeks. Best wishes!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
