I am 8 weeks from surgery... I have lost just over 30 pounds... from 217 down to 186. I am 41.

I have been spotting for four days now. But I was not supposed to start until October 16th.

would this be due to the weight loss and overall body changes?

Yes! It did not happen to me, but cutting the calories so drasticly will send our bodies into a tailspin and mess those things up- might want to make a quick call to the doc office or nuts office just to confirm but I bet they will just confrim that over the phone without an office visit. Once your calories stable and weight loss stables I would watch it and go see the gyn if it is not normal. I woun't worry.

I was supposed to start on the 30th and only usually spot for 1 day before it starts. I spotted for 4 days and finally started on the 5th extremely heavy when its usually not... Called dr and said the first couple may be messed up.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
