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!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
