I am a newleywed and waiting on my consult with the surgeon. I went to the obgyn and I got refferred to a womens specialist and they recommended the implanon. I have been pre-approved for the sleeve.and I don't want to get something that will inhibit me from loosing the weight that I need to. I don't want to have surprise pregnancy and put my opperation on the back burner. What do you ladies use for contraceptive?

I have Mirena in, but we just had our second baby... because like your concerns, I did get pregnant last year before my surgery and it had to be postponed for a year!! So far no concerns, or complications.

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

      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?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
