AC3 51 Posted September 25, 2016 Just a random thought and I haven't had the chance to ask my surgeon yet but has anyone had the depo shot and has had the surgery?? I know they say depo shot makes you gain weight so I'm just wondering or more so curious if you are on BC has it hindered your weight loss?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Im on the deposhot too. My gyn suggested the sleeve and said it would be beneficial. They remove most hunger hormones, so im sure that helps.

byebyefat 262 Posted September 25, 2016 I was on the depo shot when I was sleeved and still on it a year post op and I had no changes or complications , I do know you become really fertile after being sleeved so its better to be cautious then to be pregnant lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LowBMISleever 381 Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) I broke up with my boyfriend a couple months prior to surgery and now I'm just shy of 10 weeks post op and dating again. Soooo birth control hasn't been an issue, but I'm now 5 dates into dating someone nice and thinking I should probably start considering BC. I didn't lose 36 pounds to get pregnant 3 months out!

kelliev2015 136 Posted October 2, 2016 I'm on depo and have been for years. No issues pre op or post op. It is also good cause there is no estrogen so it doesn't contribute to blood clots which you are already prone to after surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
