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!

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!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
