I am gona loose my mind and so are those around me, putting up with me. I am being sleeved next month. Is this standard procedure????? I have tried in the past to go off them but failed every time. Whats a girl to do????:001_smile:

I'm not sure why he would want you off of them, but I can tell you that during the first 1-3 months your hormones go insane anyways. I was a mad woman, thought the world loved me one day and hated me the next. The fat stores estrogen, and when we burn fat so quickly, all that estrogen floods our systems.

I know some surgeons require their patients to go off of their hormonal birth control, but I thought it was more related to the increased risk of blood clots.

Hi, I take compounding hormones and did not have to go off them I did not take them the first week post op but went back on them. I am post so maybe that is why?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
