Getting Sleeve on Sept 22, 2010

[Lose140 1]

I am getting my sleeve done this week. Incredibly nervous!! I have tried everything under the sun to lose weight. My last try was HCG shots. I lost fifty pounds in two months but gained back 60 over 6 months. My husband and I are both doing this. His surgery is 2.5 weeks after mine. I pray this works well for both of us.

Welcome, and congratulations on your decision to get the sleeve. I think it is great that both you and your hubby are having this done. You will be a great support system for each other.

Please keep us posted on your progress and let us know if you have any questions.

Sleeveorbust when are you scheduled for surgery? I get more nervous everyday. I am a RN so just thinking of the things that go on in surgery is making it hard for me to sleep!!!

Susan thanks for the welcome. I think doing this together will make it easier on the other!!!

I am pleased to report that the procedure was a success and she is recovering in the hospital. And yeah, I'm her husband. Wish I could be there for her! Our insurance company is taking care of most of it and we have to drive 3 hours to the facility. We have kids so she has to be a trooper while I keep the kids in line. Like everyone, I can't wait to hear a recount of the full first day of recovery.
