Anyone here sleeved in Mexico on the same day as their spouse? Just wondering, my husband and I are planning for May of this year. Wanted to know what it was like for anyone else, or do you think this is a terrible idea?

We were planning on having it done the same day (although here in the states) however, hubs surgery has been slightly pushed back. My surgeon said that the pro's are that you both will be on the same stage at the same time which will make everything easier. The con's are if you have small children to care for or a spouse that maybe needs a little more babying during recovery. I'd say , if it's just the 2 of you to worry about, get it over with at the same time!

The day I was sleeved there was another woman, her fiance, and her cousin all having surgery the same day. I stayed in touch with her a while post-op and it seemed to be going well. The really nice thing about doing it together is you won't have to worry about preparing separate meals!

We do have kids but they're all over the age of 6-7 at surgery time. So it's not like we have toddlers...

Yeah, as long as they're not toddlers and you have some extra hands coming in to help a bit, I say go for it as a team!

You'll be fine.

Having ours done on March 21st!

My husband and I had our gastric sleeves done the same day. He went first and I went last. Along with my sister and sister in law. Had it done In Tijuana April 2015. Our one year is coming up. Best decision we made!
