WLS for two

My husband had the surgery 2/07 and has lost 130 pounds - he's down to the 180s now.  He had some complicaitons, isn't really following any diet, but he's doing okay.  I am considering following suit (BMI 41ish) and am wondering if anyone here has experience with both partners having the surgery.  I'm a nurse, and knew what we were in for - I'm marginally worried about his jealousy which seemed weird the first year or two of our marriage, although we've been married 12 years, and at 48, even smaller I wouldn't  be a prize.  I also think he has unrealistic expectations about me controlling his eating after my surgery.  I recognize WLS is a tool, not a solution, but I'm hoping that it will make it easier to not overeat.  Just looking for some advice  or comments.

Hello--there are several couples I have seen (whole families) at the VSG forum...you might want to ask them the questions :) Good luck

Eljay, Me and my wife had the RNY.  She had it two years before me. She lost over a hundred pounds and has kept most of it off.  She doesn't follow the diet either. I am a nurse also(RN) and three years post op. it may help your husband to get back on track if  you both R eating healthy. WLS is only a tool and seeing him go thru it may be an advantage four you. I think it was four me. No surprises. U may be more of a prize than u think. We husbands know these things

Thanks for the reply, Deman.  I now have a date of June 16, and am starting to get anxious to get it over with so I can start on the rest of my life.
