Not only does it probably not work (because it is estrogen-based and it is the estrogens that are all out of kilter after the surgery), it made another person *really* sick (vomiting). You'll probably have to stop the depo-provera before and after the MGB for the first year while you are losing weight. Ask Dr. R. how long. > Next question, What abt hanging skin.

You have blessed youth on your side. Some of us don't. Some people have good skin. Some of us don't. " You pays your money, you takes your chances. " That's how it goes. You could be one of the lucky people who has *no* hanging skin. It really seems to be luck of the draw, youth, and genetics as to whether you will have hanging skin or not. We can all be optimistic. > I sat and talked to my bf tonight and we talked about his > concerns. Most of them will be answered when he reads the stuff Dr. R > requires.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2000 Report Share Posted August 11, 2000 Hey, Dr. R told me that Depo does not work either. He also suggested to me to get off the shot before my surgery because it could cause nausea. I also LOVE the shot and hate like the devil to get off but it doesn't look like I am going to have to anytime soon because my insurance company is giving me the run around. I hope you have better luck with your insurance co. and if you have any advice on how to handle them PLEASE let me know! Jada Munn BMI 52 25 years old Goldsboro, NC jmunn@...
