Period After Surgery



Recommended Posts

I was supposed to start the day of my surgery and did a little but by the afternoon-nothing and still nothing so far (3 days out). So idk when/if mine is gonna make an appearance either. I have the Mirena IUD. On that note, anyone ever heard of complications with IUD secondary to rapid weight loss? I asked me surgeon but he said he hasn't heard of it & to follow up with my gyno.

I dont mean to be off topic, lol :/

But i was just looking through the replies and wanting to know, i havent had surgery yet. Still trying to get a referall, but after the surgery, is it a problem when you become pregnant, should you wait sometime?

Also...I have extremly heavy periods to,and it is a pain the first 2 days, but i rather not do anything about it, definatley not a hysterectomy, i would like to have more children in the future once i am healthy and ready. And with the periods not being there, or off and on, could you still get pregnant without havin one that certain month?

Thank You

I finally got my period. Doc said hormones are funning crazy right now with rapid weight loss. She also said it would be extremely easy to become pregnant with a large amount of weight loss. Pretty much the more you lose the more fertile you are? My periods are heavy no matter what but I do has a friend that is a yr post sx and she says her periods are way lighter

If you already have a child your chances of getting pregnant the more you lose is greater. If it were me, I would find a birth control which will prevent you from getting pregnant and control your bleeding. You aren't supposed to get pregnant for 2 years after surgery. Hope this helps.

      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. 🤞
