Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

it did throw mine off a little bit. some people who were irregular became regular and vice versa. you really wont know until after. but the rapid weightloss screws up the hormonal stuff...one more thing to look forward to

Yes, it does, or rather, the rapid weight loss does, as the estrogen stored in your fat will be released when your fat melts away, and these wacky hormones will disrupt your cycle and all.

Please keep in mind that this also makes you extremely fertile, and hormonal contraception will be ineffective during this time, so if you are in a position where you need contraception, then you must use other methods.

I was taking oral birth control. My GYN changed me to the patch just the other day in prep for this surgery. Will that be ok?

Even at 52, I was pretty regular pre-surgery. But I haven't had a period since and it's been just about 10 weeks since my surgery.

No, because the patch is also hormonal control. IUD is safer.

I'm only 43 and haven't had mine in 7 mos of the 15 mos I've been doing this weight loss (and lost 90 lbs). It shows no signs of coming back and there is NO way I could be pregnant. Could I have thrown myself into premature menopause?
