Hello. I've been considering this wls for awhile but I'm just now super determined to do it. I just want to find out more info before I go through the application process.I keep reading about hormone levels. I have had a hysterectomy 4 years ago. I do not take any hormones because my levels are fine oddly. Does anyone know how this would affect wls?

I had a hysterectomy two years ago and had the surgery on June 15th this year. I've had my hormone levels checked through bloodwork and there are no abnormalities, however, prior to surgery I didn't have any hormonal issues either. I've been losing weight (not at the pace I expected), but my starting BMI was not that high. I've lost almost 40 pounds so far.

Of course speak with your doctor(s), but I think you should be fine. :)

I actually had to hold off my sleeve surgery for 5 extra months to have a hysterectomy instead (cancer). Once I recovered and they determined I needed no further treatment, they ok'd my sleeve. I haven't had any hormone issues that weren't expected (really just some hot flashes which are much easier to deal with without all the extra fat).

I'm sorry to hear that! But I'm so glad you do not need any more treatments! I have never even had a hot flash in 4 years and my last blood work showed that my hormones were great. The Drs can't explain it but that's ok lol. I'm really excited to take this step..

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
