I had LapBand 9 months ago. At goal. During the weightloss i stopped getting my period. Im 52 so i thought it was menopause. But its back and its really bad. Any body else experience this? Little concerned.

Sounds like menopause. I started three years ago-- I go for months without a period and then I have a period that seems to last forever and is very heavy. You should definitely see a gynecologist because they will want to check for any other underlying conditions. :)

Go get checked. I spent 3 myths with my unwanted till I washed rushed to the hospital with a stone. Not any fun.

See your doctor. That isn't band related.

The band dr said losing the weight probably caused it to stop and when she checked me felt that my exam did not indicate i was menopausle ( the ongyn) but next day i literally got my period. Lasted 2 weeks. Now its back 3 weeks later and really heavy. Very unlike the old ones. Sorry for TMI. Just freaking out. Cant leave the house. Crazy. Maybe its just because i didnt have it for so long?

      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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
