Title: MTF Bariatric Surgery
Post by: NancyDrew1930 on July 31, 2024, 02:52:50 PM
I'll be talking to my doctor about this, but I was wondering if anyone has had Bariatric surgery to help with their transition.  Did you have any complications because of HRT?

Not in relation to transition, but my wife had the surgery. Not the loop band procedure but the full transection whatever it is called. After her surgery, she had to be very careful about what and how much she ate. Her stomach could only hold about a cup. That meant smaller meals more often throughout the day. Anything with high-fat content made her sick. She stuck with the doctor's instructions and had a great result. I wish you the best.
