  1. yes. In fact I was on depro and have not had a period for 2 years from it. I started one right after surgery for 8 days.

    Make sure you are not constipated too first. When I let it happen I was in 10 times the normal pain because of the pressure it put on surgery areas. Once it was out(sorry for being graphic) I felt A LOT better.

    Had my 2 week post op apt today, Was sleeved on the 12th. I thought my weight loss was going fine before I went in but burst in to tears after the apt in the car because doctors MA said I should of lost more than 10 pounds in the last 2 weeks and it should be a pound a day for the next couple of weeks too. I have lost a total of 20 pounds including post op diet so far. I am still on the liquid diet for another week. I drink plenty of water and two 30gram protein shakes a day. This emotional roller-coaster is hard and there are days I can move well and the next I hurt and just want to sleep(luckily all kids are in school and I can). I have never been one to get nausea or throw up even when I was pregnant now it happens at a drop of a hat. Certain smells will really hit me hard and I want to puke. Have puked several times on top of this. Any one else told this about lost weight. It made me feel awful with every thing have I gone thru to do this surgery.

    Post op march sleevers

    Hello New here. I had my sleeve put in march 12th in Dallas, TX. I self paid since my insurance would not cover any obesity surgeries. I spent one night in the hospital. Was regretting it right after I woke up from surgery and was in extreme pain. I know I may have been screaming some at that point. They finally had to give me a morphine pump to get even the edge off the pain. Started to feel better after medicine kicked in and was burping constantly. Walking helped too. Bile drainage bag hurt a lot to be taken out but that subsided as soon as out. Started to feel better about the surgery. Went home after one night and slept a lot and had a lot of weird dreams. Luckily I had family for the first week at home. Got full easily but can drink a lot more water than I thought I should be able too. Went into a lot of pain the other night and finally realized that Milk of Magnesia was my best friend. My constipation was making the surgery sites a lot more painful than they should of been. Do not let yourself get backed up or it can really hurt. Now today I feel better but surgery areas are sore and I have bruising around some of them as well. I really hope I made the right choice. Liquid diet is awful. Getting sick of protein shakes. My doctor lets us have cream soups when you get home after surgery so that has been a little better. My cravings for sweets are gone in fact anything sweet smelling or somewhat sweet like some of the crystal light flavors make me nauseas. Just want savory tastes right now. So now we just wait to see how things keep going.
