SO .... Did anyone have these TOM on their pre op ? And if so the more stressed/worried you got the bleeding got worse and did it stay during the procedure?

Did anyone get their TOM the day of surgery ? Or when you woke up it was there ?

I am interested in this as well. It will probably be my tom during surgery. I wonder if the stress of surgery will make it worse than usual

I did start my absolutely unpredictable pcos cycle about two days before surgery. It wasn't a big deal as far as the surgery went I just let the nurse know when I checked in. However I will add that I've never bled that bad before. Since you are given blood thinners it made my period a 1000x worse than normal. Take your own pads that's for sure. Took lots of panties just in case.

So strange, but yes. I have an IUD and don't usually have periods at all. 2 days into my pre-op I started. So odd.

I have pcos, but have Fairly regular cycles. I was due the day of surgery and the preop nurse said I'd probably wake up from surgery with it. As it turned out, it didn't start until 2 weeks after surgery.

wow!! i have just been very crampy and bitchy for like the last week , and normally my TOM is only about 2-3 days but this pre op diet is making it stretch out.

I also have pcos. I was fortunate not to have an issue prior to surgery but I was worried about it. Last time I lost weight it came on extremely heavy and for long periods of time. I was told its because fat stores estrogen and when you lose weight the estrogen gets released.

I had my period right before the surgery and during. It was stress induced as well as hormonal too....Now I don't have periods after the first few months. I'm 57 years of age... :P

So if you're bleeding during surgery how do you wear a pad? Can you wear underwear? What about a tampon? I will ask the nurse but am trying to think ahead so I don't sound like an idiot, lol.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
