Hopefully for your sake it does... I was taking my birth control pills at surgery time and after and 5 days after my surgery I got my period like I would have if I stopped taking the pill - it was like it wasn't realizing I had birth control in my system at all. However, Plan B is considerably stronger of a medication so fingers crossed for you. :-)

I am 9 days post op (not on any pain meds) and I'm freezing cold all the time. I figure the fact that by this point I was a couple weeks on clear liquids only probably contributed as my body didn't have protein to use for energy. I'm hoping now that I am on full liquids starting today and can have protein shakes that will maybe take me from freezing all the time to just cold lol

I had bypass and took exactly a week off and am going back tomorrow. I feel fine and I don't see any issue going back but I have a sedentary job and sit on my ass all day. I'm not able to lift more than 10lbs so keep that in mind.

Thanks!! At the hospital now all hooked up to iv and waiting on surgeon.

Today is my big day... Super excited!!!

October 3 for me!!! Cannot wait

THIS!! Someone very close to me had gastric bypass 8-10 years ago and when things got rough she started to drink (she was not a drinker before) and she became a FULL fledged alcoholic as it replaced her eating instead. So please please everyone be careful. She almost lost everything

I too am from Northern Alberta and I'm going to Dr.Garcia for my surgery on Oct 3! Glad you have such amazing reviews of him!

I am having mine done in Mexico. I work 7 days on, 7 days off and I'm only taking my usual 7 days off work. I plan to be back to work after a week. I do have an office job though and I sit on my butt all day though.

October 3!! Can't believe it's less than two months away!
