I went on it immediately after surgery but it didn't work. I was on the pill. I'm now 22 weeks pregnant.

I started the Nuva ring my first post op period. You're very fertile after surgery and the pill doesn't absorb after surgery so you'll need to find a different method-- patch, mirena, shot, Nuva ring... Things you don't have to swallow. Lol

I'm 48 and have a long history of infertility with PCOS. I haven't used birth control in years. Do you think I need to now? I'm just 3 weeks out.

Yup, just hang around and read. We current have multiple members currently pregnant who had been trying unsuccessfully for years to get pregnant and post-op found themselves pregnant within just a few months (or in 1 case, 2 weeks) of getting their RNY done....while so far they all seem to be doing well it is safer for both mom and baby to wait a year or two.

Absolutely!! You'll be extra fertile now and you want to make sure you're protected! I started Nuva Ring and I love it. I waited 3 months but probably could've started it right away.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
