Ablation, sleeve, now periods? What gives?



Recommended Posts

I had the NovaSure procedure done in May of 2012. After the ablation I had immediate relief from painful periods and haven't had a period since then.

I was sleeved July 2013 and in the last month have started having slight bleeding and cramping. Basically, I'm getting my period again.

Anyone have a similar experience or have any idea why this is happening?

I had nova sure oct 2010. Had a period the next month...following month I had two periods. I was a nova sure failure for sure. Had a hysterectomy in May of 2012 after nearly non stop periods again.

It is possible to still get periods after nova sure. Go in and talk to your obgyn.

I had Nova in April 2012. No periods after that until one small period after I was sleeved. Since then, back to nothing/spotting.

gomekast is correct when she says that you can still get your periods after as many women do. Your ob/gyn will likely have some good information for you.

Thanks for your responses. I knew I could get periods after the NovaSure procedure but thought it was strange that I didn't for over a year and then started to only after I was sleeved.

Mirabelle, I also had the same problem, I was almost two years out from my ablation and ended up having to have a hysterectomy due to adenomyosis, which was made worse by the ablation. Best to get it checked with the obgyn :)

good luck

It is probably from the release of estrogen stored in fat cells as they are breaking down and shipping out.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
