Sleeve after a Hysterectomy - will I lose?

I'm new to the forum and there's been lots of great information, but the one thing I can't find much on is what it's like to have the Sleeve after a hysterectomy.

Will I lose with the Sleeve because my metobolism is that of a corpse since the hysterectomy. I just finished 8 months with a Dr. supervised weight loss program and lost 19 lbs and it was the toughest weight loss I've ever had. I had to fight for every pound, like doing boot camps (being the slowest and fattest), walking 2 miles a day etc. And I couldn't eat a single thing outside the program or I wouldn't lose.

Is the weight loss slower or about the same for post-hyster women?

I'm not afraid to exercise and watch what I eat, I just don't know if I can handle doing it all right and losing almost nothing again.

Anything on this would be great.

Thanks!

 Im in the same boat as you and i have hypothyroidism as well.

Hey there,
I had a hysterectomy prior to surgery and couldn't lose weight for the life of me! Since the sleeve it fell off!! That has been my expirence...

Thanks! I'm so glad to here it!

I love my hysterectomy, but I hate how hard it is to lose weight. The hysterectomy didn't put the weight on, I was obese before it. But, it sure didn't help with the weight loss.

I had a hysterectomy 8 years ago, although they did leave my ovaries. I've lost 107 so far. I did have hyperthyroisism, but they nuked my thyroid with Iodine Uptake Radiation, so now I'm hypo. As long as I take my meds...I'm just fine.

Thank you so much! Your weight loss give me hope.

I had a hysterectomy almost 10 years ago and my sleeve on 6/1/11.  I have been able to lose quite easy but I work out 6 days a week.

That's awesome! I love to workout, I just hate not losing.

I do have hypothyroidism also, so I'm glad to know some members have been able to lose in spite of it. My hypoT is well controlled so I'm not too worried about it. My best friend has it and she's lost all the weight she needed to lose.

It's the hystrectomy that worries me the most.

My General Doc wants me to get the Band, but after everything I've read, the Sleeve is the surgery I want. I just couldn't get good info about the hysterectomy and if the Sleeve will owrk with it.

I'm glad to see you reposted.  I hope you have found the information you were looking for.  Good luck on your journey!

Thank you! This is so great!

I hope to find out this week when I can schedule the surgery.

Cheers!
