As you guys know my Sx date is fast approaching. March 15th to be exact! and I am pretty sure my menstrual will rear its ugly head before then which means I will have a period while getting sleeved! Has this happened to anyone else? When booking my date I totally forgot about a period at all!!!!

Yep, I was having my period during my revision. I told the nurse and she said "honey, you aren't the first and won't be the last, lift your hiney" and she proceeded to slap an industrial sized maxi pad in between my legs. I woke up with the lovely net like panties and different industrial size maxi-pad, was able to wear my own pads once I was up and walking. No tampons, but it wasn't a big deal. No biggie, they deal with it all the time. I know it's a bit embarrassing, but please know this occurs and they are medical professionals.

Best wishes on your surgery ! ! !

I was worried about the same, and I told the nurse she said not to worry and I woke up with a huge pad inbetween my legs, the nurse told me it was just in case, no big deal from them!

OMG! Thank you sooo much for asking that question! I was so excited to be scheduling my surgery, that I forgot and scheduled it around the time my monthly friend comes for a visit! Thanks everyone for the responses, I don't feel as worried about it now!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
