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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
