I recently had a complete hysterectomy and I have gained 20lbs I weigh more now than when I went in to have it now I’m considering gastric sleeve. I was already over weight and I’m borderline diabetic on top of high blood pressure and high cholesterol! I had my hysterectomy back in March so when would be the best time to have weight loss surgery?

I would think your doctor or weight loss surgeon would be the best one to advise when the right time to have weight loss surgery after a hysterectomy. If you are not self pay most insurance (dependent where you are) would require a six month pre program anyway, so it would be worth your while to get the ball rolling sooner than later.

Hey! This is just for your reference, my sister had brain surgery 6/2018 & had her gastric sleeve 8/2018. Doctors said she was healed enough to do it that soon, I think you may be fine!

      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! 😞
