My husband is a type 1 diabetic but wasn't doing all he could to give himself the best care. I didn't ask him to modify his eating when I had surgery, but he did and he lost weight like crazy. He also does all the cooking, so I think that made it easier for him to make the jump. We do super high protein/low carb dishes and Snacks. He chose to come to the gym with me and that was a huge game changer. We now do that and all kinds of activities like bowling, disc golf, etc. together. All of our friends joking refer to us as "the power couple" since we're both healthier, more fit, happier, and super active.

Best of luck to you and your husband on your journey!

My partner has lost 115 pounds in the time I've lost nearly 200. He didn't have the sleeve, but he started at 315 whereas I started at almost 400. He finished his loss around the turn of the year, and is maintaining while I finish up my loss. We weigh about the same thing now. (Actually I may weigh about 5 pounds less than him.)

It certainly made everything about this journey easier with him on a weight loss journey of his own. We have kept each other accountable since Day #1.

My wife has been losing weight right along with me even though she did not have surgery. It has been awesome.

My husband doesn't eat fruit or veggies lol. He's kind of like a child ;-), but he's willing to try.

Yes! My husband and I are both getting the surgery. Our surgeon even said he would do both of our operations the same day as long as we both get the sleeve, which is what we both want. I don't know if that will work out due to work schedules, but no matter what it will be nice to be a to support each other.

Wow that's awesome. Will your insurance company cover both?

Yes. We both qualify so no issues there. They cover 80% but our out of pocket max is $2,500, so that's what it will cost for both of us.

My fiancé and I are doing the liquid diet together but he's not getting the sleeve. He's just trying to get healthy for our wedding. [emoji16]

My husband actually had the gastric bypass December 2016 and I had the sleeve 5/9. So yes, we are doing it together, he is just leading! [emoji846]

Wife and I started the process together in Jan and had most every appointment together which has been great. We both got approved and decided to schedule a month apart so we can still take care of our daughter. Her's is 5/30 and mine is 6/27. I wouldn't have done it without her so I'm glad we can support each other through the process. So far we've each lost 20+ lbs so we've already noticed the improvements.

HW: 329 lb

SW: TBD

CW: 313 lb

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
