Post op 1 week with my menstral cycle.

[Granmasleeve 23]

I’m at the 6th day after surgery and my 2nd day of my cycle. I have fibroids so I bleed heavy. I feel horrible! So weak . I’m on a clear diet and It’s no enough to keep me going. I just doubled up on everything hopefully it will get me on my feet again.

I got mine 3 days after surgery soon as I got home. And I was on blood thinners. Cramps plus incision pain OMG! Horrible but you’ll get through it. And hopefully you were sent home with pain killers.

I had ablation years ago so usually very light out bit at all . Got mine 2 days after coming home and 28 days later again. Know the adage bled like a stuck pig? Heavy heavy heavy! My dr earned me that it could happen. Going this month will be back to my old normal but doesn't appear to be lol

I got mine 2 days before surgery and it lasted 7 days post. It will be fine. Sucks, but it's OK. Now I'm back to "normal"

Yeah I did have pain killers....Thank Goodness! But I was exhausted getting up every hour from the hemorrhaging and having to sleep sitting up. I felt like I just bought a newborn home. Hopefully the hard part is over cause this aint easy.

A big HUG from ME, I may now remember so well, had to wear a pad on top of tampons to stem the flow, my GYn used to say " Its washing YOU clean!" yeah but who asks foe a tsunami in your underwear? And the rotten so and-so refused me a hysterectomy. An sidebar, years later the 1st Bariatric Surgeon I consulted Could Not Believe I had not had a hysterectomy. Keep saying to the future young surgeon he was training "I cannot believe she is Gynecologically Intact! " Since when has that been a precursor to Bariatric Surgery? He was a strange strange bird, glad I escaped his birdcage lair and found a better(dare I say ? More skillful Surgeon) our personalities did not mesh well.

Good for you! My problem is fibroids. I requested to have them removed and my Dr. said they will go away...smh Ok well they've been there for over 14 years, doesn't look like they are staying and growing. I know this is something on my to do list, I had to prioritize some things.
