Question For The Women



Recommended Posts

So I am 4 1/2 weeks post op and just got my 3rd period. I am on implanon and didn't get one for 5 years prior to getting sleeved. Has anyone else had this experience? If so how long does it last? Should I expect one ever month now or will

It eventually go away? Each one my cramps get worse and I'm afraid they will get as bad as they use to be! Since we can't take ibuprofen I don't know what to do! I use to take 800mg every 4-6 hrs when they got bad and that barely took care of them!

I was told that anytime you have surgery, it puts stress on your body and can change your period. I don't have any experience with your personal situation, but I figure the same would ring true for you.

I take depoprovera because I don't like having a period. I had some spot bleeding right before and after surgery, but it stopped and hasn't returned for six weeks. I'm hoping that since I'm losing slowly I won't have a hormone surge to make that awful curse return. ha!

If it continues, perhaps you can look into switching to depo. Good luck!

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

      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! 😞
