My period has gone crazy!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 5/13/15 and my period was the week before which was normal. My surgery weight was 205. I lost 15 pounds in the 1st 2 weeks and only about a pound or so this 3rd week. But i have been bleeding off and on since surgery and now im at a full fledged bleed like a normal period only it's a week early. Has anyone else had this issue after being sleeved?

YES! If I've had 2 weeks since surgery that I haven't been bleeding or spotting, it's a lot. I've heard it's from the estrogen releasing from fat, but need to get back to the doc about it. Had to go on Iron, and resisting a D&C.

I hope yours straightens itself out ASAP!

Mine started early...I had surgery Monday morning, my period started that Thursday. Much lighter than normal. Lasted three days, which is a little less than normal. Haven't had one since (im three weeks post op now). I'm wondering if the lack of nutrition will effect it now? Usually fertility is first to go when your body is going through trauma.

Make sure you all don't become anemic! Have your levels checked by a doctor!

Mine is crazy. I work in GYN and it's normal because of the rapid weight loss. I was sleeved 4/8

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
