Any Sleeved Couples out there?



Recommended Posts

Wondering how many couples both have the sleeve?

If so, how far apart were your surgeries?

If not a significant other, then with any family or friends?

My wife and I both were recently sleeved, she had hers in September and I went in October....we decided to go on the journey together and don't have one regret. We also find that we keep each other accountable as well as being each other's support system.

Not yet, but my husband and I are planning on doing it together. I am looking at roughly Jan-Feb surgery date and he is probably a month or two behind me.

My wife and I just had sleeve surgery together 1 week ago. It's a little difficult getting anything done around the house but I'm glad we're going through the same thing together. Thankfully our parents were able to help out for the first week.

My wife and I are about six years apart, her having a DS (which is a sleeve, plus) ten and a half years ago and I had the VSG four and a half years ago (it takes me a while on some things.....)

My husband and I are 10 months apart. He was sleeved first. It's working so well for us, wish I could have made it happen sooner.

My boyfriend and I are both starting this journey together. I should be sleeved in February and him maybe a month or so later. We both can't wait for this change.

My daughter and I both have had the sleeve done. I was Sept 1 and she was Oct 20. She still lives at home with me so it's a great support for both of us.

Wife and I are in the process now, still have about 3 months to go. Her best friend is doing it as well. I am ready for it to hurry up and get here, also can't wait for lake and beach weather. We love outdoors but it will awesome to not be as sweaty and swampy after 3 minutes.

My husband and I are going on this journey together! Both of us just had our last NUT appointment this past week. Paperwork has been submitted to insurance and now we wait....... Hoping to both have procedure done in late June.....probably a week apart. Both of us are soooooo excited!!!

My husband and I had our surgeries a month apart. Allowed me to take care of the kids while he healed and vice versa. Having a built in support system has been nice. My mom is now in the early stages of her journey.

My boyfriend and I were sleeved on the same day (17/5) and I wouldn't have it any other way. We are both experiencing the same struggles and successes at the same rate.

      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!
