You've had major surgery and it's the Body it can and does whatever it wants :(

Sorry your dealing with "that" and healing..but I guess being early is better than being LATE :o ...lol

Mine is all screwy too. Never made the band connection.

I skipped a period when I had my banding done. I think it's normal as your body is going through hormonal changes so it could come early or late.

Mine started again after only being gone a week. Wasn't a normal flow but it was annoying enough.. Think I had a full 6 days of it gone.

Doctor told me "annoying but normal and nothing to worry about your body is under stress"

I'm so glad someone brought this up! I've been having a very heavy period since banding eight days ago. Two weeks early. I have pcos so I think the band is going to really help it.

I got mine the day before my surgery and it was super early my doctor told me it was because of the change of my diet and stress.

I get bad cramps during my periods - are you allowed to take anything for it right after being banded? ? :/

I was told to take liquid Tylenol. I tried it today and it helped a lot with the cramps. Don't take any kind of aspirin or ibuprofen because of possible stomach ulcers from being banded.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
