The nurses said my period may start over again once I had my surgery. For some reason idk. But it didn't for the first day or so and now I am 5 days post op and have a heavier period then my normal one!! What the heck?? Has this happened to anyone? Should I be concerned? I know it may seem gross but had to ask.

I got my cycle today, I never experienced cramping like this very excruciating pain, I never had to spend the day in bed. I have a electric warmer, ibuprofin, warm tea, and still in pain. 45 years old, this is torcher. :(

I was going to call my surgeon on Tuesday for the same thing. I am a little over 4 months out and mine are horrible. I cramp like crazy. I retain so much Water weight. My flow is so heavy I sometimes have to wear tampons and pads and sometimes still leak. I am so over this. Sorry I am sure this is TMI but maybe someone is having the same issues. I hate this. I have had 3 babies and I am fixed....I am ready for my period to go away.

It's annoying the crap out of me. I can't take it anymore. Extremely heavy bleeding I can't leave the house unless I have to. Well it'll be over tomorrow or wednesday. I rather have no period or light period then feeling blah over this.

They can give you continuous bcp to stop you from bleeding. I have had heavy periods all my life and the best decision I made was a hystorectomy about three years ago.

Didn't they tell you to avoid NSAIDs which include ibuprofen? It will cause an ulcer!

      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!
