Hmm... I don't have any experience with that. They did ask me to go off of my birth control 2 weeks prior to surgery to help minimize risk of blood clotting? Did you have to do the same? I'd think going off birth control could mess with regularity.

hi hi!!! So my period after surgery has been something out of a terror movie. I have had 3 since surgery and all are bad.....

Cramps = bad. Amount = bad...

My surgeon said this is normal (to have an abnormal cycle). He said - they are not sure why but after surgery our periods go out of wack - probably due to hormones in flux.

I have taken to the following routine.

1) when cramps are really bad - I got for a walk. The exercise helps.

2) if I cannot walk - take lots of Motrin.

3) take Iron during the periods

And each period - I pray this will get better soon. Good luck....

My period started the day of surgery and didn't stop until 3 weeks after. Never severe, just constant spotting. When I spoke to my surgeon about it, he said it was usual. As women, when we lose weight rapidly it releases estrogen that was stored in our fat. That's what causes our cycles to go all wacky.

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
