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

I started my period the day of surgery as planned, it was a normal period. My period after surgery was 2 days late and normal flow.

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.

      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!
