Ladies! Did your cycle change?



Recommended Posts

I have the mirena since last year, and I hadn't been getting periods for several months. I was sleeved on a Monday and that Saturday my cycle started and lasted for over 2 weeks. Then it stopped for like 2 days and when I went to get my annual done it started back up. I pretty much wear liners or ultra thin pads everyday

I'm 42 and am so done with these darn periods! I'm thinking about having an ablasion since I"m at my "out of pocket" max for the year with the sleeve anyway. My sister had an ablasion last year because of heavy periods, and hasn't had a period since.

Changed for the worst... Longer and very painful. I am hoping it's the hormones bring released by weight loss as well as hormones from aunt flow and it will setyle down eventually. That is the hope anyway :-)

This might be tmi ..I was sleeved 2/28 and my first period was light. I started 2nd yesterday and seemed fine until hour ago...soaked 3 pairs of pj 's with overnight pads. I have passed about 10 golf ball size clots ..it is awful...the bathroom seriously looked like a murder screen. No cramping..no chance of pregnancy....my only other thought is I had cyst on ovary and had follow Monday and now have 2 more. Two now have solid masses so seeing specialist Wed. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. My man is freaking out that I am losing too much blood lol..men!..any thoughts?

I'm normally 28 days just started my first post-op at 40 days. Hopefully this is just a reaction to the surgery and I go back to normal v after this.

Have an IUD and haven't had a period in 2yrs..then after the sleeve they have returned. Went to the gyno..and she believes its just all the changes going on in my body. Had an ultrasound just to see if the IUD was still in place..its all good

I hope your ok. You need to get that checked out. I don't think you should be soaking through so many pads in a short period of time. Be careful about so much blood loss I think that can contribute to low Iron levels.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
