    A lot of hormones are released from your fat cells when you lose weight really fast, and that could be causing the weird periods but to be safe I would call your surgeon or your OBGYN and ask about it. I started birth control (nuvaring) after my surgery and it keeps my periods pretty regular, not sure how they would be if I wasn't on the BC

    How soon after surgery did you start the nuvaring?

    Dr. Chin had his calendar with his scheduled surgeries and checked his closet appt. He asked if that was ok or if I wanted to check for a later day.

    He also asked if I wanted to be added to the move up list. Which is a list of people who dont mind having their surgery earlier if there are any cancellations.

    But even when you get your surgery date, he asks you to set another appt 1 week prior for pre-op. Mine is Nov 18

    I should be celebrating that I finally recieved the telephone call to schedule my mental health appt. Im kind of bummed that I have waited 4 weeks after my class to get this appt to find out my appt is late Sept. This means I may have to wait 4 weeks to meet with surgeon and another 4 weeks to have the surgery lol.... Im just excited the anticipation has really got to me.

    Hi! They encourage you to practice what they teach you throughout the classes. Things like label reading, yes taking Vitamins now, breaking bad habits, choosing the right foods, slowing incorporating exercise. They also encourage to eat slowly, drink lots of Water (staying hydrated) basically if you practice what they teach and put effort you will loose weight. They weigh you at every class. They didnt ever say you have loose or no surgery. But they classes are clear that if you want the change you have to make it work for you. I gave up all sugary drinks. I drink Water and crystal light and that alone I was dropping 1lbs a week. They also encourage to increase your Protein intake. As it is beneficial post op and ever after.
