LADIES ONLY....(Girl question)



Recommended Posts

Hi Ladies,

I was sleeved on the 24th May, I've had a terriable backache like I've never had before, been having it for a week now. well, today I started my period. Have any of you experienced more mensteral pain,cramps since you were sleeved? My periods were always so mild in the past. Today my backache is a little less, so I'm wondering if it is related. I was beginning to think I maybe had a infection of some kind going on inside me.....

Sorry to ask such personal info.....

i was sleeved on the same day as you. i had my period about a week after my surgery. it was actually lighter than normal. my nurse told me that my period might be out-of-whack for a while. i don't think that you should worry. good luck.

I also had surgery the same day. About 10 days after the surgery I had terrible cramps, mostly when I peed. They were mostly in the uterus/ovary area, and I hadn't had cramps like that in years. Turns out I must have been ovulating. I just got my period yesterday. I went off the pill for surgery to reduce the risk for blood clots, so I think it's the surgery and being off the pill that gave me those weird cramps.

I have had mild cramping times and super severe cramping times (barrel me over and feeling all cold and sweaty from the pain). I carry pain killers around with me just in case I get a bad cramp again.

Purdy in Pink, a new type of backache? Could be your kidneys. Are you drinking enough Water? Periods are such hell on our bodies, I bet if you are dehydrated and were going to have symptoms, that's when you'd feel it the worst.

Mine was pretty much the same in the "ladyparts" area (I get terrible cramps in my lower stomach), but it also made the pain MUCH worse in new and different ways in my stomach muscles around the incision, AND the skin area of the incision. And I think my sleeve itself got swollen in response, because I was unable to eat normally for a couple days, but now pretty much back to normal.

Damn physiology :)

My periods have been pretty normal since the sleeve - actually a little bit lighter. However, I had a horrible ovulation experience last month. Horrible back pain and ovarian pain for 2 days right in the middle of my cycle. I am 3 momths out.

      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!
