Hi, for all you ladies out there who are still visited by aunt flow every month, how was it affected after surgery? I feel like a mess in that department and am not sure what is going on. My mood is sour and I want to bite everyone's head off so that seems like PMS but could just be that I'm a !@#$

If you don't mind sharing something so personal than I would appreciate the advice.

My period started in the hospital a couple of hours after my surgery. Let's just say it didn't make any of the surgery pains any easier. It seemed heavier than normal and lasted a full day longer. 😒

I'm 3.5 months out. My cycle is all over the place. First cycle was 5 weeks apart, then 3 weeks, then 6 weeks, then 2 weeks. And they are heavy - much heavier than before. And worse cramps. Maybe it'll even out?

My first period after surgery was a few days post-op, which was a few days early. I started birth control shortly after surgery and my last period was super light as a side effect.

That sounds awesome. =( My cycle is already not normal. I hope it evens out.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
