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!

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

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...

      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.

        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!
