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. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
