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

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
