I would ask you bariatric team if you could have an ablation of your uterus. You'll no longer have a period and you will still have your ovaries to continue producing hormones. That is, of course, if you plan on not ever having children.

I had the ablation/novasure about 6-8 months ago, bled a little afterwards maybe ( can't really remember) but I haven't had a period since. ☺ thankfully!!!

I cannot recommend ablation. I had it and all was well for about a year then I had horrible pain. I had fibroids growing on the outside of my uterus. They could not grow inside due to the ablation. I had a hysterectomy not long after. I kept my ovaries. The hysterectomy was the best decision of my life! That and this new sleeve. =)

I have the depo shot and I was informed that sometimes when you have rapid weight loss, it will cause you to have your period.

I took the depo shot so far so good.

I've had ablation after terrible periods. Unfortunately there has been little to no relief after ablation. Periods are still heavy.

Here my input an ablation does not always stop periods. It depends on how much of the uterus lining is left behind (ideally none), normally a little. This can cause bleeding after a year or so because the uterine tissue can grow back some. It is why doing ablations in your late 30s isn't a great option. Also u still need back up birth control with an ablation! Usually an iud ( if your uterus post ablation can support it )because if there is any lining in your uterus there is a slim chance an embryonic sac could attach to it and ta-da you are pregnant! A very high risk one at that. Because your uterus will be very unstable. However it does not mean u can't carry to term. So bottom line some ablations still have bleeding for multiple reasons and u still need birth control with the ablation regardless.
