Sleeve gastrectomy after a hysterectomy...



Recommended Posts

Has anyone had the sleeve gastrectomy AFTER having a hysterectomy?

I had a hysterectomy in 2015. Since then, I am unable to lose weight on my own, hence the reason for having WLS in upcoming September.

I’m afraid that I will still struggle to lose the weight after the WLS. Or that it won’t work at all.

I’d appreciate feedback from anyone and everyone who has had the sleeve gastrectomy after a hysterectomy, or knows someone who has. Thank you in advance!

Yes, I had my hysterectomy 14 years or so ago. Surgery was 9.5 weeks ago. I've lost 49 pounds.

I had my hysterectomy in 2017 and my sleeve in 2018. I'm down 72 pounds but I'm an incredibly slow loser (10 months out). The weight is concentrated in my belly pooch, but it is going down incrementally and steadily.

72 pounds in 10 months is an incredible victory! Most of my weight is in my belly as well, and my thighs. My mid section started growing steadily after my hysterectomy, until I topped out at where I’m at now: 282.

I had a hysterectomy about a year and a half before gastric sleeve surgery. I am one year out from gastric sleeve surgery and have lost eighty pounds. Twenty more to go to reach my goal!

1. Gestational diabetes at the age of 28 with child #2 in 1997 (also my last pregnancy). Gained 96 pounds during that pregnancy and lost 12 so by the time it was all said and done, I was carrying an excess of 80 pounds more that. Would. Not. Stay. Off.

2. Triple negative breast cancer diagnosis in 2009 at the age of 40. Mandatory year of chemo/radiation which completely finished wrecking what little metabolism I had left that the gestational diabetes didn’t wreck. Gained 15 pounds during that year that. Would. Not. Stay. Off.

3. Hysterectomy in 2014 because of complications due to chemo-induced menopause at the age of 40. And at the age of 41. And just for fun, again at the age of 44.
Went through menopause 3 times. Gained another 10-15 pounds that. Would. Not. Stay. Off.

4. Bariatric surgery in February 2019 after 21+ years of fighting a losing battle with metabolic syndrome caused by all of the aforementioned issues and yo-yo dieting.

When I was 28 and got pregnant with my daughter I was about 140 pounds and a size 8.
When I started the bariatric process at the age of 49, I was 259 pounds and a size 20/22.

Throughout my years of yo-yoing, I’ve always been a SLOW loser. I was the girl who would diet/exercise for 4-6 weeks before even 5-6 pounds would come off. Then after it would finally start to come off, I could count on losing about 6 pounds/month eating 1200 calories daily and exercising like a maniac. 

Then the instant I would stop that brutal routine, the weight would insta- jump back on.   

Since my surgery date on February 6th (where I weighed 244 pounds) I’ve lost 46 pounds.
Honestly it’s been “slow and steady”. Besides the first 2 weeks, I’ve not had a single week where I’ve lost over 3 pounds, but I’ve also not had a single week where I’ve lost under 2 pounds.

So if I can lose weight with my history, honestly anyone can

I had my hysterectomy 4 years ago and I'm currently going through the process to get approved for the surgery. I've had weight gain too, but I also had a band slippage at the same time.

      Factors Affecting the Growth of the Alternative Sweeteners Industry:
      Health Consciousness: The increasing awareness among individuals about the health issues linked to high sugar consumption, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, is supporting the market growth. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and seeking products that can provide sweetness without the negative health effects associated with sugar. This shift in consumer preferences is leading to a greater demand for low-calorie and natural sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, and erythritol. These sweeteners offer the added benefit of having minimal impact on blood glucose levels, making them suitable for diabetic and health-conscious individuals.
      Technological Advancements: Innovations in the production and formulation of alternative sweeteners are impelling the market growth. Advancements in biotechnology and food science are leading to the development of high-intensity sweeteners with improved taste profiles and functional properties. Innovations in fermentation processes enhance the production efficiency and quality of natural sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit. These technological improvements are making alternative sweeteners more appealing to both manufacturers and consumers. Enhanced stability, solubility, and sweetness intensity allow these sweeteners to be used in a wide range of products, ranging from beverages to baked goods.
      Consumer Trends and Preferences: Evolving consumer trends and preferences are playing a significant role in driving the alternative sweeteners market. The growing demand for clean-label products, which are healthier and free from artificial ingredients, is offering a favorable market outlook. Consumers are increasingly seeking natural and plant-based sweeteners, aligning with broader trends toward plant-based diets and veganism. Besides this, there is an increase in the demand for low-calorie and sugar-free alternatives that support weight management and overall wellness. Food and beverage companies are responding to these trends by innovating and expanding their product lines to include options sweetened with alternative sweeteners, thereby catering to changing tastes and health concerns of modern consumers.
