ualaw08 270 Posted January 21, 2014 So excited! We will be only a month apart. So glad to be experiencing this journey with him. We are nervous because he is over 400 and high risk. He did really well on pre op. Anyway. Wish us luck! He's having it at the hospital in which I work so I can kill two birds with one stone. 2 gmanbat and Teachamy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LindafromFlorida 1,542 Posted January 21, 2014 My husband were sleeved 2 weeks apart. So easy to be doing this together. Prayers for your husband. I understand, my husband has terrible health. He is down to 1 BP med not 3, and his diabetes is better, blood sugar averaging 110 daily not 40 or 400. Thank God for the sleeving. Prayers for your husband as he goes through the surgery.

fourthsisfour 14 Posted January 21, 2014 UALAW08, good luck with your surgeries. My hubby and I were done same day on 11/26/13, and we believe it has been easier as we both are on the same agenda and meal plans. The surgeries and recoveries were smooth, and we support and compare notes daily. Our meals for the two of us are about 1/4 than one meal for one of us before. We still can't get over that for about three weeks we shared and egg. I'll be anxious to hear your progress. We do not have any regrets, and I hope you and hubby feel the same!

ualaw08 270 Posted January 21, 2014 He's in! The anesthesiologist freaked him out before he went in saying that because of his sleep apnea she would have to place his tube in his throat while he was awake then put him to sleep. I've never seen him more frightened. I was too. I am in my office now just waiting. I hope everything goes ok an he was able to shrink his liver enough for it to take place. My stomach is in knots until I hear something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LindafromFlorida 1,542 Posted January 21, 2014 God Bless. I was terrified when my husband went into surgery and he was too. Everything was great. He did fantastic except for a prostate problem. Your hubby will be taking steps tonight. Pray and pray more, for you and for him. Praying for you both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
