Menstruation After Surgery



Recommended Posts

Wow, I am very glad I did not have this issue. I had an ablation about 3 years ago and it was the best thing I ever did - besides having my tubes tied at the same time! I was banded April 23 and have only had one tiny period since - it only lasted a couple of days and was nothing. Last month it was extremely light spotting for 2 days although I did retain a lot of Water that week - the next week was great as I was dropping nearly a pound a day when my body released the Water.< /p>

If your doctor mentions ablation and you are no longer interested in getting pregnant than jump on it!

i'm so glad i dont have to deal with my period anymore. i had a hysto almost 5 yrs ago. but i have been dealing with the hormones since surgery. i had to switch from the pill to the patch. my pcm had me on the highest lost of pill and switched me to the lowest dose on the patch. heck i didn't know if i was coming or going lol. been just having surgery and then my hormones all amuck it's a wonder i didn't hurt someone lol. i did have to call her and have her up my doasge but she just up it just the next level. ugh i can't deal with hot flashes and night sweats anymore. i feel like i am physco woman half the time. :)

Good to know about the cycles changing!

I'm about 4 days overdue right now and no chance of being pregnant, so I'll stop worrying and be grateful for the reprieve, however brief it may turn out to be. :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
