You should wait at least 6 to 12 months after gastric sleeve surgery before having a hysterectomy. Your body needs time to heal from the sleeve procedure, adjust to a lower calorie intake, and stabilize nutritionally before undergoing another major operation. Rapid weight loss occurs in the first year, and adding another surgery too soon can put extra stress on your body, increasing the risk of complications. Anesthesia risks are also higher when surgeries are close together, and healing may be delayed.
Hello, I hope you are well. It is most recommendable to wait at least around 3-6 months after undergoing a major procedure before submitting yourself to surgery again.

This question can be read two different ways. If you NEED an operation it can be done at any time. For instance, if you get appendicitis or a gallbladder attack, you could safely have the surgery at any time after your sleeve gastrectomy.On the other hand, if you want to have a knee or hip replacement, or a hysterectomy, which are generally elective procedures, you would want to wait until you have lost a significant amount of weight. This would allow you (and your surgeon) to enjoy the benefits of a safer, easier operation. In some cases these operations don't even need to be done because the joint pain gets much better or the dysfunctional bleeding stops. Six months is a good amount of time to wait, as much of the excess weight has been lost by this time.
