Have Mirena and did not have to take mine out for surgery (June 30th). However I know some who DID have to remove it prior to surgery so talk to your surgeon just to be sure. Another person in my group asked if it could be a contributing factor to her non weight loss as she had it put in AFTER her surgery, so you can ask your surgeron that question as well.
