Recommended Posts

I haven't had a period for two years. Sleeved on May 8th, 32 lbs down and suddenly I have my period. Not just spotting...full blown, had to go to the store immediately, gushing. WTF is happening???

Did this happen to anyone else?

I'm 49 so beyond child bearing days. I'm sorry for your cancer. I had a bout with cervical cancer, but it was caught in the very early stages. Had 3 babies, and I thank God for them every day.

The surgery and losing weight causes your hormones to go all out of whack. Your body is currently being flooded with estrogen among other things so I'm guessing that has something to do with the recurrence of your TOM. :wacko:

You need to see your GYN asap. Post menopausal bleeding is cause for concern to rule out possibilities such as ovarian cancer.

Not trying to alarm you but better to have it checked out.

When I first started this process I went to the OBGYN for my appointment. I hadn't taken the pill in 2 years, hoping to stop my periods. She refused to give me the pill stating that "probably" would not get pregnant at my age. Then I told her I was getting the surgery, and she started writing the prescription for the pill. I'm like what? She said, you lose a ton of weight then pop out an egg, get pregnant and come up here and shoot me... you are getting the pill!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
