@@Para-thighs Lost my husband never had any issues with recovery. I stayed an extra night the hospital because general anesthesia makes me extremely nauseous. He's done everything so quickly, which I resented at first...but I'm better now!

No, but my husband is thinking about doing this as well, so he is seeing if he can do it on his own one more time before he decides to go through with it. I gave he 6 months to decide and we are in month 3 now and he has only lost 14 lbs. thanks for this topic. I will keep close tabs on it.

Wishing him success on his journey.

For me, after decades of yoyoing, it wasn't a question of could I take it off, it was always about 'keeping' it off!

And because I'm (clearing my throat) older, it's so much harder to lose. Wish the sleeve would have been available in my 40's! Best wishes to you both!

I think there's a special bond when you go through this together. My hubby is excited too!

Is there a change in the grocery bill?

Ours went WAY down, but hubby is on Optifast from the hospital, and I don't eat much yet. I'm sure after he gets on maintenance after surgery it will go up, but I don't think it will ever be a high as it once was. (Even with buying organic, and healthy protein) we simply won't eat as much

Not really for us because eating better is more expensive.

You're right about eating better costs more...I was thinking volume. Also, we're not buying any junk food, that adds up. Trying to stay away from processed food. It's just the two of us, must be a lot harder with a family!

My hubby and I were sleeved the same day, 09/11/14. I went first, he was second, we came home that evening and it's been smooth sailing ever since. He has lost 100 pounds and it at his goal, 153 pounds. I have lost 114 pounds and still have a ways to go. I'm shorter than him but outweighed him quite a bit.

It's truly the best thing we ever did and the journey has brought us so much closer together. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything. :)

Wow! That's awesome! We didn't think we could do it at the same time. One because our hospital was 2 1/2 hours away, and several other factors made it too difficult. I think it's great you went through it together!

Congratulations on your success!!!

Hope we can do as well as you two did!

How's your grocery bill compared to before?

My husband was sleeved Sept 2014 and I will get the bypass July 13 !

He will probably be a big help to you! You're close...two more weeks. Best wishes!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
