Hey, all! I had my sleeve done July 11 and had to come off my birth control pills because of the risk of blood clots. So, usually when i come off my pills, i would have my TOM a couple of days after. This time, a couple of days after surgery I stained a tiny bit and that was it! Does this surgery mess with our cycles?? I apologize for the TMI...

Yes but it's important to make sure that's all this is - if there's a possibility of pregnancy - get tested asap. Otherwise - hormones are all messed up post-op and so are TOMs.

I had surgery on July 5 and Auntie Flo came to visit on July 7 the day I was to be discharged. She just dropped by for the festivities, I guess. She wasn't supposed to arrive for a week! Sooo...that was fun...

"She just dropped by for the festivities"

Cracking up out loud! Too funny!

Thanks for the giggle @@Wonderwoman516 !!!

I definitely would use a second form of Bc because your hormones will fluctuate and could be completely out of whack for a while.

If there is a chance you could be pregnant by all means make sure that isn't it.
