I'm really not kidding or exaggerating.. This is super tmi.. Turn around now if you're easily grossed out!

Sooooo.. Two issues. One is for my fellow lady sleevers... I got sleeved Monday (so I'm 6 days post OP). I started my period Wednesday, 3 weeks early (I'm on birth control to have it once every 3 months). I can't remember the last time I bled this bad. I mean, it's REALLY heavy. Is this normal?

Second TMI question... I can't stop pooping! Every hour-ish I'm running to the potty. I have no idea why! I'm on a liquid diet! And it's a very liquidy #2, but still.. I'm only 6 days post op.. It's REALLY hard for me to turn the necessary ways in order to wipe my bum.. Especially 10 times a day. Any insight or advice?

I had my first period the day after surgery, but it was super light. I just had another one, and it was SUPER heavy. I thought it would never stop. I have been on birth control to regulate my periods because I have PCOS. I haven't had a period this heavy since before I was on the pills. I sure hope that this isn't an all the time thing.

During the first week post-op, I was going all the time like you are, but it was because I was on meds for H pylori. After I finished the meds, I was still having liquidy bowel movements, but my doctor said that was normal due to the liquid diet. Once I started eating more regular foods, I got constipated. Oh how I was wishing to go back to the diarrhea! LOL Luckily, I only was like that for one day. I am on a regular full diet now and am back to regular bowel movements.

Are you on Protonix? Thats the gastric issue. I took it only 3 days.

To the girly who has PCOS could you message me??

I have PCOS too! That's why I have my bc.. But this period is absolute nuts. Like post baby period. It's horrible! Thanks for the advice!

No.. I'm not. Are you saying it'll help gastric issue? Or if I'm on it, it may be causing my gastric issue? I'm miserable.. ALL day yesterday and today doesn't look like it's going to be any different.

I think I'll call him tomorrow just to make sure I shouldn't be worried. This is like a post baby period. It's so so heavy! I'm jealous of your light short one! How are you feeling? I need a sleeve Buddy!

No... Protonix made me go to the bathroom 10 x day . It is given like zantac for gerd after surgery. Did doc put you any new meds?

Just my nausea meds and pain meds.. Both of which I've taken before with no issues.

I have pcos, but I don't know how to message from my phone

awh man! I was about to make a forum about it if ya see it just message on there

So glad to see I'm not the only one in this situation. I was sleeves last Mon 3/18, I have PCOS n had an IUD put in Wed 3/13 last Wed 2 days post op I started bleeding n haven't stopped. Its hard to be post op n then deal with this. My gyj said at first with the IUD I will have more irregular bleeding but I can't help but think the surgery has to do with it also. Idk. I just hope it stops soon.

I've been on my BC for MONTHS and always had my period when scheduled.. Except now. I'm convinced it has something to do with surgery.

I'm starting to feel ok as far as wanting to get up and get out and do something BUT I must say since surgery especially after being home now the smell of anything makes my stomach hurt. I know I'm not getting enough liquids but enough to stay hydrated and out the hospital. Keep me post on your condition. I hope you are feeling a little better

I've been to the grocery store! I had to take pain meds when I got back tho. That was 2 days ago. I'm not getting enough liquids either...enough to keep me out of the hospital.. But not what I'm supposed to be getting.
