Fat2Phat2016 541 Posted November 16, 2015 Wondering how many couples both have the sleeve? If so, how far apart were your surgeries? If not a significant other, then with any family or friends? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gossamer 91 Posted November 17, 2015 My wife and I both were recently sleeved, she had hers in September and I went in October....we decided to go on the journey together and don't have one regret. We also find that we keep each other accountable as well as being each other's support system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
walkinggirl 90 Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) Not yet, but my husband and I are planning on doing it together. I am looking at roughly Jan-Feb surgery date and he is probably a month or two behind me. Edited November 19, 2015 by walkinggirl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Protege01 16 Posted November 17, 2015 My wife and I just had sleeve surgery together 1 week ago. It's a little difficult getting anything done around the house but I'm glad we're going through the same thing together. Thankfully our parents were able to help out for the first week.

RickM 1,752 Posted November 19, 2015 My wife and I are about six years apart, her having a DS (which is a sleeve, plus) ten and a half years ago and I had the VSG four and a half years ago (it takes me a while on some things.....) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
purz59 57 Posted November 19, 2015 My husband and I are 10 months apart. He was sleeved first. It's working so well for us, wish I could have made it happen sooner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emarie8 5 Posted November 19, 2015 My boyfriend and I are both starting this journey together. I should be sleeved in February and him maybe a month or so later. We both can't wait for this change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lorri716 256 Posted November 20, 2015 My daughter and I both have had the sleeve done. I was Sept 1 and she was Oct 20. She still lives at home with me so it's a great support for both of us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cwaters737 8 Posted November 22, 2015 Wife and I are in the process now, still have about 3 months to go. Her best friend is doing it as well. I am ready for it to hurry up and get here, also can't wait for lake and beach weather. We love outdoors but it will awesome to not be as sweaty and swampy after 3 minutes.

Wendy1960 11 Posted May 21, 2016 Wondering how many couples both have the sleeve? If so, how far apart were your surgeries? If not a significant other, then with any family or friends? My husband and I are going on this journey together! Both of us just had our last NUT appointment this past week. Paperwork has been submitted to insurance and now we wait....... Hoping to both have procedure done in late June.....probably a week apart. Both of us are soooooo excited!!!

naturegirl 320 Posted May 26, 2016 My husband and I had our surgeries a month apart. Allowed me to take care of the kids while he healed and vice versa. Having a built in support system has been nice. My mom is now in the early stages of her journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VSGMB 8 Posted May 26, 2016 My boyfriend and I were sleeved on the same day (17/5) and I wouldn't have it any other way. We are both experiencing the same struggles and successes at the same rate. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
