I may end up with a slight period again someday?

I had the same procedure done and I still have some what of a period but nothing like it was before. I've had one period since the surgery and I think it was actually easier not the others were bad but there was something about it. I wish I wasnt having periods anymore but what I do have is so much better than what it was. Not sure if this helped .

When I had my ablation I was on bc pills. But after the ablation, no period at all. I know some people who have a regular, normal cycle tend to have an incredibly light period after the ablation. I'm one of those PCOS girls who hardly EVER had her period. So when I had the ablation it stopped all together. So now I'm wondering, once I get down to a more normal weight, is my body going to kick into having some sort of a period now, or did the ablation truly take care of it. It'll be interesting to see.

The ablation destroys the glands that produce the endometrium, thus eliminating or vastly reducing menstrual flow. My GYN says that it is possible for the glands to regrow, but highly unlikely.

I had Abalation done in January 2003 because extremely heavy bleeding lasting a couple of months making me Anemic. I didn't have anything for awhile, then only minimal spotting here and there. Still after all this time I only get a spot here or there but not enough to warrant anything more than a liner and tampons have not been needed since surgery. I will go through some feelings of light cramps or backache maybe every two or three cycles. It is the BEST thing I did and for me it has curbed the severe PMS, the Mood swings, etc Hope that helps

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
