2 SLEEVES UNDER ONE ROOF - MISSION COMPLETE

I had VSG on March 14th and my husband finally had his done on June 20th.  It was touch and go over the weekend with him trying to talk himself out of it.  I felt like it was my job to tell him how wonderful my experience had been and how good I was beginning to feel, but ultimately it had to be his decision.  So, for fear of being called a "wuss" specifically by me, he jumped in with both feet.  He's done a lot better than I did, but they gave him dilaudid in recovery which basically put him totally out for the first 24 hours.  He missed most of the pain and by the next day was only feeling the soreness.  Sucks for me.  Oh well - he is paddling his way through his first 3 weeks of clear liquids only, while I am eating out of sight, mainly  because I know how it feels when someone is eating in front of you and all you can have is something to wet your throat.  Not fun.  Once he's over his 6 weeks, things should be so much easier in the house, especially for me.  There won't be anymore of us going to Whataburger, him ordering a double meat with cheese when all I can have is half of grilled chicken sandwich with mustard without the bun.  We'll be splitting that bunless grilled chicken sandwich from now on.

Life is good!

Yay!  I'm so happy for you guys!  I have the same goal for my husband and I.  Appointment with the surgeon this Monday!

Congrats to the both of you!

That's great news,  I'm so happy for both of you.  Life should be much simpler with you both eating the same things.  congrats to you both  :o) jeani

 Congratulations!  My husband may need the surgery soon as he has been eating my leftovers since I had the surgery...we have been working on only ordering one meal when we go out to dinner and sharing, there is usually way more than enough for 2.

 Congratulations to him AND to you!  So nice of you not to eat in front of him while he is in that liquid diet pergatory!  LOL

YAY! Congrats to both of you!  My household will hopefully be in the same boat soon.  I'm trying to work out a few insurance snags (and figuring out how I'm going to manage the emotional/addiction side of my food relationship) and then I should be having surgery at the end of next month.  My hubby will be going in mid-September. 

I'm soooo excited about both of us having the sleeve, mainly because for once we'll be on the same page with food.  For the past four years I;ve felt like I'm the one who starts the diet or exercise routine and I have to be strong enough for both of us when I wasn't even strong enough for myself.  I can't wait for the day when we can go to a restaurant and split a healthy meal and still have leftovers to take home!  YIppee!!

It's good to know there are other households out there with two sleeves!  Thanks for the post!

My hubby had his sleeve in Jan and is 5 mos out and I am going to get sleeved in 4 days on 6/27!
