there was a recent thread about family/spouses getting sleeved together

its amazing so many people go through this wonderful experience together :)

between the two of you - giving each other well needed support!!!! ;)

can't get much better than that

sending you both many many good thoughts :)

you are broaching on an amazing journey

there will be ups and downs, bumps in the road, but thats to be expected - its natural

you have a couple of weeks prior to WLS

you might find yourself getting anxious, nervous, excited :unsure:

all normal emotions :)

take a deep breath, let it out - and WLS is over

then your new life begins

you will enjoy health, happiness and a longer life with the help of your new best friend the sleeve :)

good luck to you both :)

My husband and I got sleeved the same day and we were able to take care of each other just fine. Same days he had more energy, some days I had more, and when we were both exhausted, we made the 13-year old help us :P

I think it makes couples grow closer together. It's so wonderful to take such a big step with someone who understands exactly what you are going through. Good luck!

That's so cool that you are embarking on this journey together. My husband and I had ours 15 months apart. If you are like I was, at the end of week 1 I was beginning to feel better. Take care of one another! It's a great journey I am finding out!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
