Sleeve while on hormone replacements (post hysterectomy)



Recommended Posts

Hello, My name is Brittany and I am going through the appointment process of the Sleeve surgery. I am terrified of having the sleeve and then not being able to lose weight due to the hormone replacements I'm on. I've had 9 surgeries in 8 years which has caused me to gain weight after each one. The big one was when i had to have an emergency hysterectomy 2 weeks into being 22 and they took everything (ovaries, uterus) causing me to go on hormone replacements. I gained 25 lbs just in 1 MONTH after this surgery and it has gone up from there. Has anyone had any experience with this? I just need some people to talk to and ease my mind.

I don't see any reason you can't lose weight with the sleeve, I had a hysterectomy last year and I'm having the sleeve done on mov 28 , had to stop taking my hormones 1 month prior to surgery

I wear HRT Patches, had to stop using them 6 weeks before and 6 weeks after surgery. Then went straight back on them.

My weight loss has been fine. I also came of BP tablets (High BP) so another bonus ... yayyyy

Best of luck in the process!

Kate :)

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
