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...

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. :)

      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!
