Hello everyone!

I am new here and just wanted to say hello. I decided I wanted to get bariatric surgery done last year but I wanted to wait till January to start, that way everything went to my deductible for my insurance. My husband I am are both going to get the bypass done. I first saw the doctor January 24th and my husband saw her Feb 4th. We both have different insurances, my insurance only required one nutritionist appointment and the psych evaluation. My husband has to have 2 nutritionist appointments and the psych evaluation. I am completely done with everything and he has one more nutritionist appointment. We would like to have surgery the same day or around the same time.

My starting weight was about 260, I do not have a goal weight. My goal is just to get healthy and be more active.

Has anyone done this with a spouse? How did it go, did you have it done at the same time or different times?

Thank you. I am on a few facebook groups, but I dont always like them or agree with things they are talking about.

Oh yeah I've heard those groups on Facebook are a lot different than this site. I enjoy this site overall. I hope you do as well.

Best wishes on your journey! ?

hello & welcome!

My husband and I are getting the bypass too. We have all our clearances finished and now are just waiting on a date. I have requested for us to have surgery the same day or close to it. We are in our 50's and are empty-nesters. Our adult twins will come to help us in the first week after surgery.

It's so exciting to be doing this with my husband - it's brought us closer really - having a common goal.

Good luck to you both!
