Period Question (Sorry, Boys!)



Recommended Posts

So, I suffer from VERY heavy periods. I was scheduled to have ablation done in December, but my last (3rd period since surgery) was NORMAL and not heavy. In fact, it was really light. Has anyone else noticed changes here? I know this could be temporary considering my body has completely changed, but does anyone have any input that is farther out than me? (only 3 1/2 months)

After my surgery my period became normal immediately. On time all the time now and a regular flow.

I used to go for months without it or would have it for three months straight (bleeding heavy every day)

Good luck

I would 100% reccomend an ablation! I have not had a period in a year! And I'm only31! It is so freeing;)

Best thing I've ever done for myself thus far ( until I'm sleeved;)

I am also considering an ablation. I have to get a four hour Iron infusion (as soon as I get home from traveling) because my periods are so heavy and I can't get the anemia under control.

I am pretty nervous about the ablation... Having kids is 99.9% not in my future, but that .01% is still in my mind. It seems silly objectively, but emotionally getting the ablation will be tough.

Sorry to chime in with my story on your thread - I don't know anybody else dealing with the constant bleeding and ablation issues!

Good luck!

The only thing that has changed about mine is the frequency has become irregular (even though I've had a tubal it still freaks me out to be late! :wacko: )

I'm considering an ablation. My sister had one and she now has 2 day light, light, light periods.

I'm also very anemic and on Iron supplements so both docs (gyn & VSG surgeon) think this is a good option for me.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
