I've had some female issues since being banded on August 11th. I've read up on common issues and most of them are lost of menstrual cycle or often women become MORE regular. 2 weeks before my cycle began unexpectedly. Then it quit after a week and I had a week off before my surgery. THEN, the day after my surgery my cycle began in full force again and has lasted for over two weeks. :biggrin: My normal cycle should have began next Monday. I was like clockwork before! All my life I was like clockwork. What is going on? I feel so tired and weak and surely this must play some role in it all. Has anyone else had this problem? When is enough, enough? I'm not sure what my gyno can really do... I was going to wait it out because I thought it was all weight-loss related, but perhaps it's not?

I'm 16 days out and I still feel off-kilter myself. I'm so tired from not being able to sleep in positions I normally sleep in (incisions are still tender). And I think I'm also so fatigued due to some female issues that have been all whacked out too. The last couple of days my abdomen feels very tender and sore. I think my ab muscles are sore from getting some extra usage, maybe? I hate that I am hyper-aware of everything my body does because I've got this "foreign object" attached to me. LOL I need to just chill out, but it's hard sometimes. It totally understand though- I'm tired of feeling abnormal...I wanna feel rested and get back to my normal self again!
