I would ask you bariatric team if you could have an ablation of your uterus. You'll no longer have a period and you will still have your ovaries to continue producing hormones. That is, of course, if you plan on not ever having children.

I had the ablation/novasure about 6-8 months ago, bled a little afterwards maybe ( can't really remember) but I haven't had a period since. ☺ thankfully!!!

I cannot recommend ablation. I had it and all was well for about a year then I had horrible pain. I had fibroids growing on the outside of my uterus. They could not grow inside due to the ablation. I had a hysterectomy not long after. I kept my ovaries. The hysterectomy was the best decision of my life! That and this new sleeve. =)

Here my input an ablation does not always stop periods. It depends on how much of the uterus lining is left behind (ideally none), normally a little. This can cause bleeding after a year or so because the uterine tissue can grow back some. It is why doing ablations in your late 30s isn't a great option. Also u still need back up birth control with an ablation! Usually an iud ( if your uterus post ablation can support it )because if there is any lining in your uterus there is a slim chance an embryonic sac could attach to it and ta-da you are pregnant! A very high risk one at that. Because your uterus will be very unstable. However it does not mean u can't carry to term. So bottom line some ablations still have bleeding for multiple reasons and u still need birth control with the ablation regardless.

      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.

        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!
