Sleeve while on hormone replacements (post hysterectomy)

[burneyatchley101213 7]

Hello, My name is Brittany and I am going through the appointment process of the Sleeve surgery. I am terrified of having the sleeve and then not being able to lose weight due to the hormone replacements I'm on. I've had 9 surgeries in 8 years which has caused me to gain weight after each one. The big one was when i had to have an emergency hysterectomy 2 weeks into being 22 and they took everything (ovaries, uterus) causing me to go on hormone replacements. I gained 25 lbs just in 1 MONTH after this surgery and it has gone up from there. Has anyone had any experience with this? I just need some people to talk to and ease my mind.

I don't see any reason you can't lose weight with the sleeve, I had a hysterectomy last year and I'm having the sleeve done on mov 28 , had to stop taking my hormones 1 month prior to surgery

I wear HRT Patches, had to stop using them 6 weeks before and 6 weeks after surgery. Then went straight back on them.

My weight loss has been fine. I also came of BP tablets (High BP) so another bonus ... yayyyy

Best of luck in the process!
