Question for the ladies



Recommended Posts

I am just about two weeks post-op. And I have had my period, or what I am calling a period but really isn't cause I wasn't due for a while, since 3 days post-op. I know the blood thinners caused it, but I haven't had them in 5 days. Is it ever going to stop?! Anyone else experience this?

The rapid weight loss causes havoc on your cycle. I got my period early too and I have read where some women have it for much longer or even heavier than usual. It can take a few months to get back on track. If it's really bad you might want to call your OBGYN.

I had a period 2 days after and then 2 weeks after. Then I love had 2 more. So like 5 in almost 4 months . Dr said it's normal and as the weight balances out, so will my periods

I was sleeved on 8/17/15 I stopped having my monthly years ago!!! But when I came home I was cramps and spotted I would say it has something to do with the surgery!

Day AFTER surgery I woke up to my period! It was awful. I already could hardly move because IV and drain tube but now I had to deal with changing pads and trying to keep clean. It was horrible. Surgery was 9/2...went home 9/4...and just yesterday finally stopped. It was a heavy one too! Sorry if that was TMI...????

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
