I was sleeved Feb 14th and I had had mirena for about 3 years and never had any issues with it. Since being sleeved I have been having a dark bloody discharge. Its not a lot b ut always there when I wipe. Anyone else had this issue with mirena that has been a long time prior to surgery? If so how long before it went away?

I have mirena and I haven't had those issues, I did get a mild bladder infection a few weeks after surgery, but nothing else really. Maybe it's just your body doing an abnormal menstrual cycle after surgery.

It might be from any blood thinners you were given in te hospital. Did you have injections in your abdomen? (Heparin or Lovenox)....

I had the same issue after surgery. But I was on depo shot. Had a period for 12 days finally had to have a D&C done to have it clear up. Call your obgyn is its too long. Mine got worse as the days went by.

Our fat cells are full of hormones when u start losing they let go of the hormones causing all kinds of womanly issues. But they will get better.

I did not get any blood thinners when I was conscious anyway lol

And I have never had issues before with it so that is why I was surprised.

Thank you all for your input

Yeah I noticed mine as soon as I got to use the bathroom aftdr surgery. And its more of a brownish color the whole time. Maybe I will wait it out a little longer and if its not gone I will call obgyn. I will definitely be asking my surgeon at follzow appointment next week

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
