So has anyone else had a crazy heavy flow now that you have been post op? I was dealing with PCOS before and just rarely had a period. Sometimes only once or twice a year since I was 16 and I am now 33. When I started losing weight pre-op, I started to have them regular again. It was a shocker, to say the least! Now, I have had 3 since surgery (1 during and 2 since). This one is horrible!! My boobs were killing me 5 days before, the cramps are severe, and the clots.... OMG the clots!! I am going through pads (the mattress sized ones) at 2+ an hour!!! I know losing weight causes your hormones to change a lot, but is this normal? Please tell me this has happened to someone else!

LMAO!!! I love the title. Yes my period was hell I was in so much pain I ached horribly from the waist down and it lasted 10 days. That was my first period post op

It was awful!!! Pcos had made mine irregular but when it finally came it was a nightmare. Possibly true in what I've heard about estrogen being stored in your fat cells and maybe it makes it go a bit whacko. I couldn't leave the house

I KNOW WAT U MEAN I WASNT HAVING THEM ONCE A YEAR BUT I STARTED LOSING WEIGHT KNOW THEY ARE RIGHT ON TIME IN FULL EFFECT NEVER HAD CRAMP GETTING THEM TOO

Mine was exactly like that too. For me, I can say they've gotten better. The first 4 months I wanted to die when it started. Now the bleeding is normal, clots are way smaller but the cramps and the pain in my breasts are still there just not as bad. Plus I don't want to rip off my husbands head and roll it down the street for no reason too. Lol. I also have PCOS. They said the main reason for the really heavy bleeding and huge clots is its cleaning ya out for not having normal monthly periods.

I am SOOOO glad I am not the only one! I tell ya, my hubby made fried chicken last night for dinner knowing damn well I can't eat it. I wanted to let him feel the wrath, but put on my jogging shoes and jogged a mile, then walked a mile, didn't about 50 squats and took my frustration s out that way. Was too tired to be mad once I was done. LOL! Anger fueled that workout! Hahaha...
