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!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
