Hey all, happy easter! I'm going to ask my doctor about this too but i wanted to see if anyone else has had this before surgery.

I went to the doc a couple weeks ago and it was a clinic...because of my BMI (41 i think) she COULDN'T give me pills. and she said the

depo shot would cause weight gain so b/c of the sleeve and all she didn't want to do that. I'm getting sleeved in august and I wont let

my boyfriend even touch me lol. I'm so scared that im going to get pregnant either before the surgery and not be able to have the surg

or right after the surgery and never reach my goal . So i was thinking about getting the arm implant. The only problem is ...I would have

to get it before surgery (for reasons i'd rather not go into......) Would this be okay for surgery? Has anyone had this???

Thanks in advance!! Happy easter!

The implant uses the same hormones as Depo, so if you GYNO was cautious about Depo she probably would be about the implant too.

Also, I lost weight on Depo. I have been taking it for over three years and the first year lost about 30 pounds while hitting the gym. I got hurt and stopped and then began grazing again and gained it all back.

The point is, Depo makes you crave glucose, sucrose and fructose -- but it is YOU that eats it or doesn't. So you can gain or lose or not change at all on it :)

I had a mirena in before surgery and for the first 3 months post-op. The implanon uses the same hormones, and should be okay. But definitely check with your surgeon.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
