Menstruation After Surgery
corinne211 replied to Manda87's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I spoke with my surgeon and my PCP, they both told me that the LONG heavy period is an effect of the blood thinners they give us during and after surgery. Also the untimeliness of it arriving is from a combo of anesthesia and trauma. Mine lasted 12 days. It was heavy and I thought my insides were falling out. Being told you can't have advil was a deal breaker for me after a certain point. I went and saw my surgeon and he told me I COULD take IBprofen but in I would have to take it in liquid form or in very coated an make sure I drink a lot with the pill form so it would not stay in stoma where it can cause issues. He said taking IBprofen is ok for once in a while like for cramps. I also found that taking Evening Primrose Oil helped regulate my hormones after the surgery. Especially since I had gone off Birth Control 3 months prior so this was my 1st REAL period in a LONG time. -

I woke up today and have been BEAMING sicen I got off the scale. I am offically 20 lbs down and retired some of my baggy shirts this morning when dressing. They went straight into the donation bag. Looking to be a good Week! -
I am 8 weeks post op and down 18 lbs, 3 BMI points and yestrday got my 2nd fill. I am now at 3.5 cc's. I had my 1st PB last night. So I guess that is what restriction feels like. lol. My fiance thought it was hilarious that I was excited about PBing my chicken up. I was excited because I have never felt the restriction before. I was a ALRIGHT FINALLY moment. I felt the sliming and wner to restroom and came out a min later going ok. I am done for the night. lol. Tossed the rest of my dinner. I know know what my new full feeling is like. So I dont repeat... Hopefully!

Heyyyyy Corinne!! I'm doing great!! Well, I went to work for a few hours then left work around 11:15am to go to the hospital for surgery. Surgery went well, I am home now resting no gas pains just a little discomfort been walking every since I got out of surgery. My dr. found hernia's which he removed when he went in to band me. I am greatful that he used the same incisions from my gastric bypass back in 2004. I am doing great. Oh, since I have a band over the gastric bypass he gave me a fill already in my bad to prevent slippage and to secure the fit. I'm just surpised that I have no gas pains or anything. Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm on the other side!!

Ladies are you with me? I am boycotting the scale this week. TOM is visiting and I don't want to go mental and not see a loss. Anyone else do this? -
Wowwwwwwwwww!! That would really be great!! I would love to speak with him!! It's more helpful when a trainer knows about weight loss surgeries and the limits that we have!! I have been looking for a place to go to that have water workouts the I tried looking into the YMCA but they are expensive as H-E-double hockey sticks girl!! So yougot an advantage. I can wait to the next meeting I will be post-op and ready to get in gear on my workouts!! I got my Wii Fit Plus going to get the EA Sports gots my vitamins & protein liquid & power!! I am ready!! Come on weight loss!!! Where do you work out at?? Maybe be we can be work out buddies when you wanna just want one of the girls 'round.....I'm up for anything!! Just let me know!!
Congrats on the Marriage!! May your union forever be blessed, gurlie!! ~Smooches~ Hope to chat with you again!!

Yep! Getting married on Oct 30th in CA on the beach. So I have some MOTIVATION. lol. And another Yep to my fiance trainer. He is activly looking for more clients if you are interested. He is going tothe next group meeting if you want to meet or pick his brain. Where do you workout? If you are serious about a trainer Aaron is pretty acquainted with the limitations of the band and band friendly excercises. Here is his email if you wanted to ask questions, ect... aaron@aaronkueper.com
He is starting me on a new pool workout next week with a free pass to his hotel gym with an indoor pool. hehe.

Hi... yes, it was great meeting you as well. Continued success. I know you'll rock it out, especially having your own personal trainer at your beck and call
Best,
Lauren
