Ask your GYN about ablation procedure. Fixed my heavy periods. I don't have them anymore. Should hit the big M before they come back. As long as you are done birthin babies and you have heavy periods' date=' your doc will probalby do it.

Best thing I did in my 40's.

Sleeve is best thing I have done thus far in my 50's![/quote']

This is what my gyno wants me to do. The only reason I take bc pills is to help with my heavy periods. Too bad I can't have both surgeries done at the same time.

I had an ablation ... it's awesome and did not hurt. It doesn't work on everyone though. You should at least have light periods if not zero periods. I did end up with light spotting for about six weeks from christmas to mid-feb. But it had been a year of nothing prior and nothing since so far. I was told to expect menstrual changes for the better now so hopefully it will just stay away!

You are never to young to tie your tubes unless you are 15? I am a labor and delivery RN. As long as you sign the paperwork 3o days before the procedure you should be ok. If you feel like you are done and I mean done have them tied. If you feel like?? Well..... Then get an IUD. But the idea now a days is that you can be to you g especially if you already have over3 kids and you are under 25

Lol, I mean personally I feel I'm too young to make a permanent decision. I'm 23 with 2 kids. My husband is 28 and We feel that we are done having kids, but during my last csection I was given the option and just didn't want to do it.

Ok' date=' totally a tmi question, so you don't have to answer lol, but does your significant other feel it?[/quote']

No not at all...they say at first they may be able to feel the strings but mine were cut short..but if yours does feel it they soften up over time.

It is so easy. The whole procedure takes less than 5 minutes. They basically burn via several ways your uterine lining. You will have cramps that night. They will give you meds for it and the next day you will feel fine.

I was having periods that lasted 8-9 days. Have a week or so off and then start over again.

It has made such a positive impact in my life. Not only are the cramps mostly gone, they used to double me over. Most of the PMS symptoms are gone too.

I had the same problem with cramping. Now, with the Mirena, my cramping is gone. It is hormone releasing so my PMS is completely regulated (you'd have to ask my husband if it is gone, but I assure you he is too intelligent to say anything but yes) and my bleeding is minimal. If I have a period, it's one wipe of a very light pink and it's gone.

I love love love my Mirena. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

I had an endometrial ablasion last year and am so glad my GYN suggested it. I had super heavy periods - just miserable for 2-3 days. Now, they are nothing but a thing and some people don't even have then after the procedure. I didn't think it hurt at all and I was back to my normal activity within a day. If you are done with child bearing and suffer from heavy periods, it's the way to go!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
