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.

Thanks so much! That makes me feel a lot better!!! On a better note I'm done 5 more pounds! 31 pounds since my liquid Pre op diet started 14 days before my surgery! Happy Dance! 31 pounds down and a lot more to go! But I'm making it! Yayayayayayayay! Lol! ;)

      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?
