I have my sleeve surgery two weeks from tomorrow..on the 24th. I stopped taking my birth control pills about 2 weeks ago and I had unprotected sex today. I know it was so stupid! Can I take the morning after pill? Will it interfere with my upcoming surgery?? Please help! I'm going to call my surgeons office tomorrow but I'm kind of freaking out!

They gave me a pregnancy test 5 days before my surgery during pre-op testing, and then again on the day of surgery even though I was on my period. They will not operate if you have a positive test.

I'm just asking because they said to stop taking the birth control pill at least 2 weeks before. I guess it increases ur chances of blood clots. I called the office but everyone is in the OR and the lady said she would have to call back later ugh....

I was freaking out so I ended up taking the plan B but now I'm very worried that they are going to have to move my surgery back. I already asked for time off of work and everything. I'm so mad at myself

I'm pretty sure they just want u to stop taking everyday meds. I still took Tylenol and such... idk the answer but I wouldn't stress it. U wouldn't be the only one to go against the rules

The morning after pill should not affect your surgery in any way. You will be fine. Relax, you're almost there!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
