Cycles changes



Recommended Posts

Hello all,
I’m knew to the group( hey y’all)!

I have a surgery date of August 6. I’m excited but now I’m really nervous being that I’m less than two weeks out. So many things are in my head but tonight I got to thinking about how different my cycle maybe, currently have a cycle every 21 days and over the course of 13 years after many children (4), my cycle have went from three days minimal bleeding no cramping too many days sometimes more than seven. lots of cramps. lots of side effects. So now I’m really concerned that having gastric sleeve is going to change my cycle for the worse. Any of you ladies have complications with your cycle after surgery?

Thanks in advance,
An excited, impatient, nervous soon to be sleever!

The lighter I have gotten, the lighter my cycle has gotten. I don't know for sure if there is a direct connection but I believe so.

My cycle had changed. I’m 34, no kids. I’ve gone from a 28 day cycle to a 24 day cycle. I also used to start quite light, now it’s heavier and shorter I think. I’m a year out and this 24 day thing is pretty weird.

Can you explain how you count your cycle?

First day of your period is “day one”. So you might count 28 days and then you get your period again and you start a new cycle. A typical cycle is usually 28 days, but it can vary from 21 to 35 days.

I track my cycle using an app, but you can just circle the first day of your period in your paper diary and count back to your last circle. This helps you know when your period is due and what your cycle is.

There is a lot of info online and apps that help you know when in your cycle you are most likely to conceive too and how to track it.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
