Sleeved Messed Up My Mirena!



Recommended Posts

So I am sure there are other women who have Mirena too. I was happy for the past year period free, until my surgery in July that is. Now I have a very light one it seems every 3-3 1/2 weeks with a pissed off ovary. And now today I realized why I have been a ravenous pig the past two days and have had 2-3 days every 3-3 1/2 weeks where there is not enough food in the world to satisfy me. It all makes since now. At 38, I have spend many month of my life getting off very easy with virtually no PMS, bloating, never once had cramps, or was a raving mad overeater for a few days. Now I am pissed off! I chose Mirena because I'm done with periods. The factory is shut down folks. I have two kids. No need for that monthy irritation.

Anyways.... Just like to get some feedback from anyone who has had similar issues. Honestly, it's the crazy hunger for a few days that bugs me the most. I want to cry at the amount of food it take to fill me up during these little spurts. It's not even like I can walk away and talk myself out of being hungry either. It's full on growing, lightheaded hunger for 2-3 days. UGH!

They wanted me to go back on Mirena bc I'm currently on Yaz & they're worried abt post-op clots. I told them noooo way. I had HORRID periods, bleeding, cramping, PMS, cravings, etc on Mirena. I'll never go back on it. I'm looking into the arm implant. Or maybe depo.

I can definitely empathize with you. I am taking yazmin and this month I had exactly what you described. Normally I have nothing no PMS at all and a very light if any flow. I too am pissed off as I don't like this and am done with my periods.

All I can say is I hear your pain.....................what to do.

OMG ! I got my sleeve on 9/19/12 during my period, well let me tell you that you are not the only one going through this, last week i wanted to eat everything in site and nothing would be good enough. I am not on birth control but my hormones are all messed up bc of the surgery.

hope you feel better, i can't wait to get my period this week to see if my appetite gets better.

It has to do with the hormones that are stored in your fat that are being released due to losing the fat. Things should regulate themselves when you get to goal weight or your weight drop off slows down.

True. So maybe I'm going through something like a newborn growth spurt! Lets just hope this means in the next few days I lose like 5 pounds!

I had the implanon for 6 months before surgery. Had no bleeding prior to surgery, light bleeding and spotting for about a month post op, then back to nothing ever. Your body just needs time to adjust. Be patient.

I have had mirena for 2 years in January. My periods never went away. I spot here and there constantly. I just learned to live with it.

I got Mirena in Jan/ VSG in April.... Had 2 light monthlies since surgery and no evidence since then of one.

However- I still get my "ghost period" when I eat, eat, eat! I crave chocolate and salt- it only lasts 2-4 days but it's a doozy!

The worst part about the Mirena/VSG combo is I get moderate cystic acne now- never used to before :(

My husband an I are trying to make a decision on birth control at this very moment. Thanks for sharing your experiences, the toss is between mirena(had 2yrs ago) and the nexplanon. I really don't want anything in my uterus, and if that bleeding sporadically starts after sleeve, then NO thank you! Lol!! I have adenomyosis and endometriosis, so the pain that comes into play with bleeding and the implant is not worth it. Has anyone had the arm implant before?

I have had Merina for almost 3 years 2nd time having it. I was sleeved in March 2012 and had one period after surgery a few weeks after. I have had one more a week ago (nothing major, light one, maybe one day of actual flow and a day of spotting). I am sure it has a lot to do with your weight loss and hormone levels.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
