Well this is just fan-freakin'-tastic...I started my period the day before my surgery! I was supposed to have it last week, but noooooooo...mother nature has a sense of humor and it's a sadistic one. I know it's not a super big deal, but to me it feels like adding insult to injury! I'm already gonna be alone, uncomfortable, and a little scared...now let's add menstruating to that! Just my luck!

mine started when i got home from the hospital and I seriously had a hard time maneuvering down there with my pain etc, so I had to use pads for a couple of days of it.. (not to mention I was staying with my parents and had to ask my poor dad to go by my house and get them.. I got home later and realized there were extra pregnancy tests in that cabinet.. *eyeroll* maybe he didn't notice. lol)

Mine started day of surgery I told my nurse while catheter was in. She goes ill check spread em. Nope. I'm like dude I'm totlaly not dumb. She pulled catheter out next day and goes oh I guess ur period started. Duhhhhhhhhh told u this.

Worst part I had surgery 2/12 sgtill going strong =( fu mother nature...awhhh but ily mother nature.

I started my insanely heavy flow while on the operating table.... And it still hasn't stopped at over 1 wk out.

Yeah. And I'm on the depo shot so it shouldn't even be an issue!! Though my periods have never been normal. Grrrrrrr, the annoyance of a uterus sometimes.

How long have you been taking the depo? I used to work at a family planning clinic (not planned parenthood), and the depo would often cause some women to have very heavy periods for a few months before it would regulate. I would still get your depo every 90 days, but use an alternate means of protection. The surgery is a shock to the system and sometimes depoprovera is moody!

I've been on it for years. I'm hoping once I lose a bunch of weight that my periods will finally become somewhat predictable :/

I was sleeved on 2/21, I have very minimal pain even to stop my pain killer. TODAY I STARTED MY PERIOD!!! I have very painful periods. At first i thought something was wrong with stomach and started to panic. Then i went to the bathroom and realized what was happening. Must be karma, who can have 80% of their stomach removed and not have pain??? Damn mother nature!!!!grrrr

My sister rolled her car and broke her neck. When she woke up 2 days later She informed me she was on her period and had a tampon in when she wrecked. She couldn't raise up more than 15 degree angle. So guess who that left to remove the tampon. Yep! Sister of the year right here.

Wow! You are one good sis!
