I have been suffering awful periods like the one sandisleeve had for many years now! I am very worried the sleeve will make this worse.. Which I'm not sure is even possible. I already miss a day or two of work a month due to not being able to leave the toilet as I'm just literally pouring out. My doc said no bc pills because of my age. And my insurance won't cover mirena, I tried appealing. Not sure what is going to happen but I'm reading more and more about people saying it gets worse :(

Wow at your experiences nom & darianna--- I've never experienced what I did in January before surgery. Today is the 2nd day of my february cycle and its normal Heavy right now. I was put on Vitamin k and Iron so I'm hoping that has helped me -- no dizziness or lightheadedness at the moment and I hope it stays that way. I went to spin class yesterday and I was fine the whole time. I hope all goes well and that last month was just an isolated incident. So so So scary I can't imagine going through that on a monthly basis. I wish you both well and hope your cycles get easier over time.

I recently had a similar problem with heavy bleeding and large clots. No cramping but weak and dizzy. My GYN put me on Lysteda, which I take 3x daily for 5 days. It has dramatically decreased the bleeding. I'm 10 months post op so the likely reason for this is my age, I'm 49. I also can't understand how people deal with this on a regular basis. I recommend Lysteda if this is a regular problem, talk to your doc!

My 2nd cycle was fine thank God -- my gyn did give me agestrin just in case to stop bleeding if it occurred heavy to take 1x a day for 10 days

I didn't have to take it - I think the Iron and Vitamin k helped me out a bit but not certain

I'm 31 and only 10 weeks out tomorrow so not sure why this happened -- gyn says its due to anesthesia. I don't have children and have never been pregnant.

Good luck to you! I'm sliming down but I miss good food like sushi and lamb .. Hernia repair prevent form getting anything down

It's pretty much still Protein shakes for me and a little Peanut Butter and turkey deli or scrambled eggs once a day -- takes me over an hour to get through 1 egg

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
