Problems w/ Menstrual Cycle Since Surgery?



Recommended Posts

I'm only 3 weeks post-op, but this week I started my menstrual cycle and to be blunt, I'm bleeding like a stuck hog!! My periods have been very light since I had an ablasion done several years ago. I don't understand why I'm doing this. I go back to dr. Dec. 31, but I'm just wanting to know if anyone else has had this problem????

I am 4 months out 1week after surgery I had the heaviest cycle ever and cramps to die for. And that was it. Just saw my GYN last week and my surgeon had full labs only to find out I am experiencing menopause. It took RNY for my cycle to stop. Really....

Mine have been much lighter...combination of perimenapause and no ibuprofen.

I am dying. I have had mine heavy since my surgery oct 30th. I had been to my GYN and they gave me birth control to take on top of my birth-control I already have in my arm. It is not helping. This reAlly sucks because I'm feeling amazing about my self and honestly getting sexual frustrated!! I don't know what to do anymore! Ugh!!

The surgery/weight loss actually helped mine. I have PCOS. In the past I have gone as long as 1 1/2 years without a period. And it would be very heavy and last for about a week. Since the sx, it has regulated like clock work and it only lasts 4-5 days with minimal cramping.

      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'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? 🤷‍♀️
