Question About Aunt Flo



Recommended Posts

I know this is prolly a stupid question but.... is it ok to have the surgery when you are on your period? Ive got mine and was just wondering if it will cause any complications during or after surgery. thanks:help:

Mine is truly a curse. Any major event or even not so major - Aunt Flo is there; from my wedding day, anniversary, birthday, our cruise, trip to Australia, prom, parties, etc my entire life!! Mine is honery enough that even if I mapped it out on a calendar, it will adjust to still show up early or late (what ever is necessary to screw up my plans).

So, just to be consistent, she was there when I had my lapband as well ;) I can't go the tampon route so they give you these lovely mesh panties and a pad the size of a hand towel.

Good luck to you!!!! ;)

Wombat, I can totally relate!

I always start every 26 days... EXCEPT when a big event pops up. My wedding was St. Patrick's Day this year and I was SUPPOSE to start a week and two days before my wedding. Well, guess what... I started at MIDNIGHT the day before my wedding.. well, I guess that makes it my wedding day.. but, I was in the middle of my Bachelorette Party and I told my friends "i just know Im' going to start either tonight or tomorrow" and sure enough I did. Not to mention, we went on a cruise for our honeymoon!! My mom said it was the stress from the wedding making me delay it. My hubby said I was thinking about it too much. LOL.

      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.

      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!
