  1. I am on morena and hadn't had a cramp or more than maybe a spot for a period in over three years.. I had my surgery in Nov and have full cramps and one to two days of bleeding each cyle now.. Plus i break out now at that time of the month too now...Boooo!!
  2. So just an update.. I had quit taking the biotin and a month later I started breaking out again.. I did some research and saw other people who had Bariatric surgery were having issues with breakouts.. I am going to start taking it again and see if I notice any change
  3. The sleeve by itself is so did then when u add the ds.. Yet I can't tell which surgery anyone had had because i never see ds listed. Any way to tell on here? I had it with ds
  4. I am 8 weeks post op and only have diarrhea. I have it once in the morning and again once or twice at night. The bad part is the smell.. TMI I know but seriously it is bad like cat poop every time.. I feel like I need to get one of those huge commercial grade exhaust fans for the bathroom.. It even smells up the room attached to the bathroom and lingers for a good 30 minutes. Is it just me? My dr appt is next week so I'll find out but when I was in at my 2 week check up the nurse said some people never have normal poops again.
  5. I had the sleeve with DS Nov 21 and just had my period over Xmas. I have been on morena for 4 years and this was the first actual period I have had since it was inserted and it was heavy and crampy.
  6. So beware of biotin. I haven't done a ton of research but I started taking 5000 a day and after about a week.. Maybe a little more..started breaking out terribly all on my jawline and then just painful ones randomly around my face. I thought it was my period because it was my first period post surgery. Besides the surgery and vitamins.. Biotin was the only thing I had recently changed that wasn't right from the dr. Looked it up on YouTube and saw girls experiencing the same thing from biotin. I stopped taking it immediately and they have almost went away about a week later.
