sweetsoutherngirl 32 Posted March 21, 2012 So i searched the forums and it seems everyone has some issue with TOM after surgery. Has anyone had a very painful TOM afterwards? I got mine a week after surgery and I have it again now. Both times I am in so much pain I want to cry, well I did a bit because I was in so much pain. And it is super heavy... Any suggestions on what I can take? I am taking liquid tylenol but that does nothing for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Violet953 46 Posted March 21, 2012 I have an irregular and heavy period anyway...but the week after surgery mine was very very heavy and lasted like 2 weeks which is normal for me...sometimes the bleeding lasts for months actually. But its weird...idk if it's from loosing weight or what but now I haven't had it for over a month! It's so hard to tell with me what's going on...I assume though its just your body getting used to all these changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mandagay 93 Posted March 21, 2012 Sweetsoutherngirl, I had my tom about a week after surgery and swear I thought I was gonna die! I cameon here and asked about and some lady made fun of me saying the band doesn't effect ur womb. I'm not completely stupid but my body has gone thru a lot and it stands to reason to me that stress and other things can effect ur period then why not this? I was embarrassed to say anything else after that so I'm glad u brought it up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know before my surgery it was not this bad and now I have had two that were horrible. I ended up taking some crushed tylenol and balling myself up in my bed until I went to sleep. I am calling my doc tomorrow. Today has been a bit better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lianne 34 Posted March 22, 2012 I had ablation done late last year to eliminate my periods. I had met my yearly out of pocket co-pays with my Lap Band surgery so i figured why not? It was a very minor outpatient surgery. I still get my regular PMS symptoms (which are minor) but the horrible cramps and the bleeding are gone! I couldn't be happier, and would recommend it to anyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
