Period



Recommended Posts

Banded July 24 and have done great! Now it's time for my period and I feel like a truck has run over me and I'm having so many mood swings...is this normal? I hate feeling like this!

Is it any different to your period before you were banded? If not, then you definitely don't need to worry. If it is different, then it is most likely still ok as your body adjusts to surgery and weight loss. Just be sure to take care of yourself and see your dr if you are worried.

My nipples hurt worse, my back hurts worse, and my temper is worse than normal...but I'm figuring it's bc my hormones are finally working on their on since my weight loss is good...;) My period used to be sporadic but now it seems to be on track...I just wondered if periods become worse after the band is put in and if it was normal...thanks for answering me ;)

My surgery totally messed up my periods sweetie. I had 2 in the same month right afterwards. It's just your body adjusting to everything and the weight loss. You should be ok but if it doesn't level out in the next couple months you may wanna talk to ur Dr.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
