husband sleeved in Sept - I get mine in March -- Any other couples out there who both had it done?

[newtree 8]

My husband was sleeved on Sept 30th and he is doing great! Down a total of 55 lbs! I have been so proud of him. I have mine scheduled for March 11 and I am getting so excited! Just curious if there is any other couples out there who have both had it done? Oh we also have 3 kids!

Just to save typing, I'm copying and pasting my answer from another thread a few days ago.

My husband and I had sleeve surgery the same day. I was first, he was second. I woke up in the recovery room right around the time they wheeled him into the recovery room and put him right next to me. I stayed there for a few minutes until he woke up and then they had me get up and walk to my room. I was in my room for about 15 minutes when they had him get up and walk to his room, which was right next door to mine. I got up and walked into his room and we stayed together the rest of the day, getting up and walking together, trying different juices, everything was together. We left the hospital about 8 hours after surgery and a friend drove us home. We recovered side by side and have been each others partner through the whole process.

As of today, 4.5 months later, we've stayed within a few pounds of each other as far as amount lost. I'm at 85 pounds and he's at 81. I am so happy we did this and that we did it together. It's definitely been a challenge, but having him right there with me has been a major blessing.

That is awesome that you were able to have it done on the same day! My husband had to be in hospital for 2 nights so I assume I will have to be in there two days too! I am really looking forward to do this with him. He has done great so far! 4 months yesterday and he is down 55ish!

@@newtree, not necessarily. He may have been in the hospital for 2 nights because he wasn't able to get as much liquid in as he needed to. So, you might be in the hospital for one night.
