I've always had bad, painful periods. Now since I'm post op, they aren't as heavy but my whole ab section gets cramps now and I get real dizzy. I talked to my ob/gyn and she said it may be my new norm. She hasn't had any of her patients have RNY or Bariatric surgery so it's new for both of us. Anyone have this issue???

Could be an Iron deficiency, I would have your blood work checked out.

I had RNY 8/3 and my first cycle snuck up on me with little pain and heavy flow for about 4 days. Everyone is different - keep listening to your body and asking questions.

Did they only check ferritin? Did they check you TBIC and Iron saturation? I was told My levels were okay too. I was dizzy from periods too. When i went into my general prac. She ran ALL the iron tests and surprise, surprise-- i am anemic. So, just something to keep in mind.

I just had my first period since surgery. Miserable...just heavy, crappy and moody. Hoping it gets better next time...only time will tell.

I had to come off birth control pills pre-op. Not looking forward to the PMS and miserable periods to come.

I switched to an IUD...my dr thought it was a great alternative. It didn't effect anything to do with surgery and no chance of an oops pregnancy.

I had Endometrial Ablation done a couple years ago. I can't recommend it enough. I am SO happy I did it. Obviously, this is not something you want to do if you want more kids and unless your hubby has been snipped, you'll still have to use some form of BC. I haven't had a period in over two years, yet all my reproductive organs are intact as well as my hormones.

Did I mention NO PERIODS whatsoever??

Mine have always been very painful - cramps. No Advil has really been hard. My cycles are now also significantly shorter - closer to 3 weeks between periods rather than 4-5ish.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
