Hi just wanted to see if any other doctors have required you to go off birth control pills. I have to take it for my bad endometreosis . Anyone else told to stop taking the pill?

Im not on the pill but my dr took me off everything but my blood pressure & acid reflux med, mite b sumthin n it they dont want mixed with surgery meds my surgeon gave me a whole 4 page list of medicines that we could not take within 10 days of surgery and the only thing the paper said was take blood pressure meds with a sip of Water the morning of surgery.

I've had mine removed and there's nothing to it!!! You'll do just fine <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Thanks!! That makes me feel better! ;)

Anume I am on BP pills with the fluid pill on it. I wonder if this is one on your list. I am taking BP and thyroid medicine I quit taking the cholesterol meds

So I had my pre-op today. Turns out I have some gall tones so my surgeon is going to take out my gall bladder also. Curious to know if anyone else has to have that done. Also I am now on a 600 calorie diet till surgery day on the 15th! Shouldn't be bad' date=' I still get chicken which I love![/quote']

After having my son by C Section in 2000 I had to have mine removed and it was a breeze mine was done just like the RNY was done except less cuts Every one looks at me like I'm crazy Cuz I'm not nervous but this makes my 4th surgery and I'm just not nervous about things like this I'm more like "BRING IT ON" sounds crazy rite idk maybe I will get nervous when the weekend comes.:)

Oh yeah blood pressure and Water pill, usually if it is a blood thinner or things on that line u have to stop so u wont bleed easily when your on blood thinners it makes it hard to stop bleeding medicines like coumadin even aspirin is a blood thinners. I just looked at the list and birth control is on it.

22 days down and 5 more to go of my liquid diet. I didn't struggle really until last week I was so hungry just like today and I know it was all in my head I think I just wanted some food I could chew and I don't mean sugar free popsicles or mints I mean food. I'm just tied of tasting this Opti Fast And it don't make it no better when I got 2 kids to cook for and I have to make their food.

Day 2 of my liquid diet, not so bad yet. Yesterday I had a headache all day, but I just think to myself, "Hey you quit smoking without any help, you got this!"

Trying different flavors in my Protein drinks, this morning I had unjury chocolate with Hazelnut flavoring... yummmmmm.

13 days to go!!
