stinkin' period...



Recommended Posts

I started two days after, thankfully it was after my catheter was removed. Semi on time so I am glad I brought my supplies. Overall it didnt seem to make things any worse. Just a little longer in the bathroom.

mine started when i got home from the hospital and I seriously had a hard time maneuvering down there with my pain etc, so I had to use pads for a couple of days of it.. (not to mention I was staying with my parents and had to ask my poor dad to go by my house and get them.. I got home later and realized there were extra pregnancy tests in that cabinet.. *eyeroll* maybe he didn't notice. lol)

Yeah. And I'm on the depo shot so it shouldn't even be an issue!! Though my periods have never been normal. Grrrrrrr, the annoyance of a uterus sometimes.

How long have you been taking the depo? I used to work at a family planning clinic (not planned parenthood), and the depo would often cause some women to have very heavy periods for a few months before it would regulate. I would still get your depo every 90 days, but use an alternate means of protection. The surgery is a shock to the system and sometimes depoprovera is moody!

I've been on it for years. I'm hoping once I lose a bunch of weight that my periods will finally become somewhat predictable :/

I was sleeved on 2/21, I have very minimal pain even to stop my pain killer. TODAY I STARTED MY PERIOD!!! I have very painful periods. At first i thought something was wrong with stomach and started to panic. Then i went to the bathroom and realized what was happening. Must be karma, who can have 80% of their stomach removed and not have pain??? Damn mother nature!!!!grrrr

My sister rolled her car and broke her neck. When she woke up 2 days later She informed me she was on her period and had a tampon in when she wrecked. She couldn't raise up more than 15 degree angle. So guess who that left to remove the tampon. Yep! Sister of the year right here.

Wow! You are one good sis!

      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!
