Menstruation After Surgery



Recommended Posts

Wow, I am very glad I did not have this issue. I had an ablation about 3 years ago and it was the best thing I ever did - besides having my tubes tied at the same time! I was banded April 23 and have only had one tiny period since - it only lasted a couple of days and was nothing. Last month it was extremely light spotting for 2 days although I did retain a lot of Water that week - the next week was great as I was dropping nearly a pound a day when my body released the Water.< /p>

If your doctor mentions ablation and you are no longer interested in getting pregnant than jump on it!

i'm so glad i dont have to deal with my period anymore. i had a hysto almost 5 yrs ago. but i have been dealing with the hormones since surgery. i had to switch from the pill to the patch. my pcm had me on the highest lost of pill and switched me to the lowest dose on the patch. heck i didn't know if i was coming or going lol. been just having surgery and then my hormones all amuck it's a wonder i didn't hurt someone lol. i did have to call her and have her up my doasge but she just up it just the next level. ugh i can't deal with hot flashes and night sweats anymore. i feel like i am physco woman half the time. :)

Good to know about the cycles changing!

I'm about 4 days overdue right now and no chance of being pregnant, so I'll stop worrying and be grateful for the reprieve, however brief it may turn out to be. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
