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 :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
