Period Question (Sorry, Boys!)



Recommended Posts

So, I suffer from VERY heavy periods. I was scheduled to have ablation done in December, but my last (3rd period since surgery) was NORMAL and not heavy. In fact, it was really light. Has anyone else noticed changes here? I know this could be temporary considering my body has completely changed, but does anyone have any input that is farther out than me? (only 3 1/2 months)

After my surgery my period became normal immediately. On time all the time now and a regular flow.

I used to go for months without it or would have it for three months straight (bleeding heavy every day)

Good luck

I would 100% reccomend an ablation! I have not had a period in a year! And I'm only31! It is so freeing;)

Best thing I've ever done for myself thus far ( until I'm sleeved;)

I am also considering an ablation. I have to get a four hour Iron infusion (as soon as I get home from traveling) because my periods are so heavy and I can't get the anemia under control.

I am pretty nervous about the ablation... Having kids is 99.9% not in my future, but that .01% is still in my mind. It seems silly objectively, but emotionally getting the ablation will be tough.

Sorry to chime in with my story on your thread - I don't know anybody else dealing with the constant bleeding and ablation issues!

Good luck!

The only thing that has changed about mine is the frequency has become irregular (even though I've had a tubal it still freaks me out to be late! :wacko: )

I'm considering an ablation. My sister had one and she now has 2 day light, light, light periods.

I'm also very anemic and on Iron supplements so both docs (gyn & VSG surgeon) think this is a good option for me.

      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!
