My husband is a type 1 diabetic but wasn't doing all he could to give himself the best care. I didn't ask him to modify his eating when I had surgery, but he did and he lost weight like crazy. He also does all the cooking, so I think that made it easier for him to make the jump. We do super high protein/low carb dishes and Snacks. He chose to come to the gym with me and that was a huge game changer. We now do that and all kinds of activities like bowling, disc golf, etc. together. All of our friends joking refer to us as "the power couple" since we're both healthier, more fit, happier, and super active.

Best of luck to you and your husband on your journey!

My partner has lost 115 pounds in the time I've lost nearly 200. He didn't have the sleeve, but he started at 315 whereas I started at almost 400. He finished his loss around the turn of the year, and is maintaining while I finish up my loss. We weigh about the same thing now. (Actually I may weigh about 5 pounds less than him.)

It certainly made everything about this journey easier with him on a weight loss journey of his own. We have kept each other accountable since Day #1.

My wife has been losing weight right along with me even though she did not have surgery. It has been awesome.

My husband doesn't eat fruit or veggies lol. He's kind of like a child ;-), but he's willing to try.

That's amazing! It makes it easier as a team! He's gained wait since we've been together. I can't wait to be healthier together!

Yes! My husband and I are both getting the surgery. Our surgeon even said he would do both of our operations the same day as long as we both get the sleeve, which is what we both want. I don't know if that will work out due to work schedules, but no matter what it will be nice to be a to support each other.

Wow that's awesome. Will your insurance company cover both?

Yes. We both qualify so no issues there. They cover 80% but our out of pocket max is $2,500, so that's what it will cost for both of us.

My fiancé and I are doing the liquid diet together but he's not getting the sleeve. He's just trying to get healthy for our wedding. [emoji16]

My husband actually had the gastric bypass December 2016 and I had the sleeve 5/9. So yes, we are doing it together, he is just leading! [emoji846]

Wife and I started the process together in Jan and had most every appointment together which has been great. We both got approved and decided to schedule a month apart so we can still take care of our daughter. Her's is 5/30 and mine is 6/27. I wouldn't have done it without her so I'm glad we can support each other through the process. So far we've each lost 20+ lbs so we've already noticed the improvements.

HW: 329 lb
