How many two sleeve couples are out there?
My husband was sleeved last Monday (1/20/14) and I had my sleeve just four days ago (1/27/14). We are just a week apart. We really needed to do this to support each other. But like it's been said before, don't compare your recovery. He didn't have any pain and is full of energy and I seem to be just the opposite right now. I know in the long run it will be the best decision we ever made but right now I'm not feeling like I made the correct one.
trust me, it will get better and you will be glad you did it. you will feel much better in a week or two. i had little pain and bounced back quickly but my husband took longer. people are different. he may lose weight faster than you. but in a month when you have 25 lbs off and can eat mushy food you will really love the sleeve. my best advice is to follow doctors orders closely, get the protein and fluids in and remember that you are not just losing weight but you are forming new eating habits. let me know how you are both doing from time to time. diane
