Whoops! Put this in the wrong forum before. This one is much better for this question.

For those who got IUDs, did you do it before or after surgery?

If you did it before, did you gain any weight?

I did it just prior to my VSG. No weight gain. Just like VSG, I’m sorry I didn’t do it sooner

Almost 5 weeks post sleeve to RNY and I just got the arm implant today. My uterus is heart shaped so I can’t get an IUD and stopped absorbing BC pills. Arm aches and I have a hormone headache but I’m praying it works out. I’m having dominant shoulder surgery soon and can not handle period with one arm!

Which one did you get?

I have had an IUD for like 10 years and never did I gain weight with it

Mirena

I've had a mirena for a year. No weight gain from it

I've had the IUD for 10 years. I never felt it contributed to my weight gain. The extreme weight loss over the last year hasn't caused any problems with it's placement either. I highly advise you to have it placed by a GYN doctor and not a general practice physician though. It's more likely to be improperly placed by a GP than a GYN.
