Birth Control & Surgery?



Recommended Posts

Just a random thought and I haven't had the chance to ask my surgeon yet but has anyone had the depo shot and has had the surgery??

I know they say depo shot makes you gain weight so I'm just wondering or more so curious if you are on BC has it hindered your weight loss?

Im on the deposhot too. My gyn suggested the sleeve and said it would be beneficial. They remove most hunger hormones, so im sure that helps.

I was on the depo shot when I was sleeved and still on it a year post op and I had no changes or complications , I do know you become really fertile after being sleeved so its better to be cautious then to be pregnant lol

I broke up with my boyfriend a couple months prior to surgery and now I'm just shy of 10 weeks post op and dating again. Soooo birth control hasn't been an issue, but I'm now 5 dates into dating someone nice and thinking I should probably start considering BC. I didn't lose 36 pounds to get pregnant 3 months out!

I'm on depo and have been for years. No issues pre op or post op. It is also good cause there is no estrogen so it doesn't contribute to blood clots which you are already prone to after surgery.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
