LADIES ONLY....(Girl question)



Recommended Posts

Hi Ladies,

I was sleeved on the 24th May, I've had a terriable backache like I've never had before, been having it for a week now. well, today I started my period. Have any of you experienced more mensteral pain,cramps since you were sleeved? My periods were always so mild in the past. Today my backache is a little less, so I'm wondering if it is related. I was beginning to think I maybe had a infection of some kind going on inside me.....

Sorry to ask such personal info.....

i was sleeved on the same day as you. i had my period about a week after my surgery. it was actually lighter than normal. my nurse told me that my period might be out-of-whack for a while. i don't think that you should worry. good luck.

I also had surgery the same day. About 10 days after the surgery I had terrible cramps, mostly when I peed. They were mostly in the uterus/ovary area, and I hadn't had cramps like that in years. Turns out I must have been ovulating. I just got my period yesterday. I went off the pill for surgery to reduce the risk for blood clots, so I think it's the surgery and being off the pill that gave me those weird cramps.

I have had mild cramping times and super severe cramping times (barrel me over and feeling all cold and sweaty from the pain). I carry pain killers around with me just in case I get a bad cramp again.

Purdy in Pink, a new type of backache? Could be your kidneys. Are you drinking enough Water? Periods are such hell on our bodies, I bet if you are dehydrated and were going to have symptoms, that's when you'd feel it the worst.

Mine was pretty much the same in the "ladyparts" area (I get terrible cramps in my lower stomach), but it also made the pain MUCH worse in new and different ways in my stomach muscles around the incision, AND the skin area of the incision. And I think my sleeve itself got swollen in response, because I was unable to eat normally for a couple days, but now pretty much back to normal.

Damn physiology :)

My periods have been pretty normal since the sleeve - actually a little bit lighter. However, I had a horrible ovulation experience last month. Horrible back pain and ovarian pain for 2 days right in the middle of my cycle. I am 3 momths out.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
