Ok girls I have a question for you all. My surgeon wants me off my hormone pills that I have been on for 13 years a month pre op and a month post op. I didn't ask why yet but what the heck. 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?
