Aunt Flow during Surgery?



Recommended Posts

I've had the same thing. Endo was bad and the cysts were terrible. I had to go through infertility treatments to get my girls. I had a lot of mc also which hurt me a lot. After my son I had my tubes tied. That seems to have caused my cycles to get heavier! I've never had them like now. Until I can get approved for that I'm ok dealing with it. Its just weird going all those years w a cycle maybe three times a year to now.

Hey Ladies HUGE question...I know this is personal and tmi but I was wondering if its bad having your aunt flow start during surgery? Because my Surgery in a week from Monday' date=' April 15th and that is the day Aunt Flow is suppose to arrive and I'm thinking how embarrassing its going to be if I am. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />[/quote']

I had surgery last Monday and of course my period started the night before. They simply gave me some strange cotton mesh undies and a huge pad.. Lol.. But nothing like cramps plus pain from 6 incisions.. But I was given Percocet.. Wasn't that bad..

All of the weight loss prior to surgery has triggered three regular months pre-op on a regular basis. This hasn't happened in years, and I don't know what the heck to do about it Lol! I am pretty worried about the cramping and pain of this being added to the surgery pain. Ugh... hope the meds will knock me out.

WOWOWOW Best Topic for me today!!! Glad I'm not alone.

I too am PCOD and with the pre-op weighloss, I got my period 2x regularly and 3rd time should have been last week - and NADA!!! I am really worried it will start just before my April 17th date!!! I haven't used a pad in 25 years! (then again, I've only gotten my period like a dozen times regularly in all of that time LOL). And now this.....ugggg :angry: :ph34r:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      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!!
