I has not had a period in years since I have no ovaries. However I for one after the surgery and it was almost two weeks. Even when I did get my period it only ever lasted for 3-4 days. I know it has everything to do with the hormones that are being released and bombarding our body.

Just on my first period after the surgery....not bad, but the blood looks darker...probably because I need to drink more Water.< /p>

I started mine after surgery (great!) but it stopped in a normal time frame, however a month later it's raging!!! I'm going with the hormones being released from fat and pray it doesn't stick round for as long as yours has... I feel for ya!!!

I had a little bit of a period. But I was bleeding for a long time before my procedure. Now, I have no bleeding and I'm totally happy. I only bleed for like 3 weeks. :)

I am on Depo too and I hadn't had a period in almost 4 years at the time of my surgery.

I missed a hot before surgery, due to risk of clots so I had a three month break in between.

I had spotting non-stop from two weeks after surgery until A few weeks ago when I got my new shot. It finally slowed down and then stopped.

The spotting was more like a period though, I couldn't use a tampon but had to have a think/medium pad on at all times.

My GYN said the next shot stopped it because it redistributed the hormone to my system. But almost 4 months of spotting.

      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!
