Hey again! Sorry to annoy everyone with all my random questions. So I got my period days ago and I was bleeding a lot but not a single dot went on the pad for 2 days. The only blood I saw was when I wiped in the bathroom. So today, day 3, I woke up to basically an explosion and a lot of blood and pain. I have noticed that this is causing me to be extra thirsty and hungry, and the reflux is acting up a bit more even though I am taking my eating and drinking slowly. Is this normal and does it regulate over time? I asked the nurse on call regarding the blood, and she said the periods can get really weird after surgery but regulate themselves again in a few months. Does the reflux go back down as well? I wasn't having that issue much until my period came and confused my body. ?

My period stopped for a few months after surgery and then it was back to normal.

The hunger may also be due to the reflux. Will it go away? Only time will tell. I've had reflux for 2 years and maxed out on several meds. A revision is in my near future. Are you on a PPI???

PPI? They have me on the little pill for GERD after the hospital that you take for 30 days and stop. But that's the only reflux med they prescribed to me. The reflux isn't bad at all. Just some gas in the throat but it seems more often now on my period, than before it started.

Yes PPis are meds like nexium, Prilosec, dexilant for acid reflux. If you say it's not bad, I'm glad because mine was horrible from a few days after surgery. I hope yours doesn't worsen and you can stop it after one month The Dr placed you on the medicine because it will help you heal as well

Yeah. It seems to lessen it. I take it in the a.m. but sometimes I miss it and have to take it in the afternoon. Things seem to be getting back to "normal", just very slowly.
