Anyone experience Post-op cycle changes



Recommended Posts

So my cycles are pretty heavy which causes an Iron-deficiency for me. So I’m already going to be on my cycle when I go in for surgery. “SUCKS *SS” I was told by my surgeon that I may get my cycle again. Which means twice in one month. Oh HELL NO! Was anyone else told this?? Or if you had surgery did this happen to you. I would like to know how common it is. 😭☹️😤

This happened to me, sort of. Because of my birth control, I normally skip/don’t have a period. After surgery I got an untimely period.

And I'm sure out you're on blood-thinning,shots it has to be much worse. Eventually everything should smooth out.

Thank you @greensmoothie. I’m just hoping if it comes twice they aren’t both heavy. It makes me so weak

I was also on my period during surgery. Wasn’t bad because the pain meds help lol.

My periods have gotten worse in terms of heavier flow and more weird pain. My pain now is more back pain versus low abdomen pain. I hope it adjusts and gets back to the old routine but I am seeing my gyno next week to switch birth control because the pill may not be fully absorbed. I want to stay on it but I will see what the doc says.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
