You have bleeding but you've had a hysterectomy?

How is that possible?

:(

More than likely she had a partial hysterectomy so she may still have her uterus. Just no fallopian tubes or ovaries. We produce different hormones for ovulation and our periods. So we can lack ovulation and still have a period.

Also they can test your thyroid all they want but if your thyroid isn't having a " spell" or attack they won't see any abnormalities. Your levels will be normal.

It's a little confusing because she referred to a "hysterectomy" which by definition is removal of the uterus, but then talked about maybe needing to have her "lining removed" which sounds like an ablation, which would require having a uterus. lol There are a few different kinds of hysterectomies, for example, mine was called a "Total Hysterectomy" because they removed my uterus and cervix but my ovaries stayed. However there isn't a hysterectomy that leaves the uterus. Maybe the OP was referring to a different kind of surgery that wasn't technically a hysterectomy. But either way, it sounds like she's in contact with her doctor about the bleeding and it's being treated and is unrelated.

Hope you're getting some answers and feeling a little better!!! :)

Maybe she should consider gastric bypass?

Or duodenal switch

Please, have no fear. I believe fear kept me from achieving my goals and living through others continue to be positive and uplifted in your journey. I had to learn and accept reality for what it was and that was...my journey came and gone. I had to stop weighing daily and looking to everyone else's success and relying on it. I still love to encourage others and that maybe my calling just don't give up. My calorie intake daily is between 1,500-1,900

How about try eating less. When I lost all of my weight I was only eating between 600-700 calories. I am trying very hard now to eat 900.

Thanks but according to my OBGYN who performed my "Total Hysterectomy" as it was referred to by both the doctor, hospital and insurance, this chart helps to explain the difference between the different types of hysterectomies. Though I do hate that this thread has become all about this since it really wasn't her original post referred to and her bleeding seems to be unrelated. That was not my intention!

No, I don't have a lot of weight to lose I guess I could stand to lose another fifty pounds or so but I am having Lipo and an abdominoplasty surgery in seven weeks. Hopefully that will help.

Okay so we know you are a woman and you currently weight 270 pounds, right. I am going to judge you but are you even close to a goal weight? Are you seven feet tall? Even if you say your goal weight is 200 pounds that still is 70 more pounds to go. Taking into what you have already lost, 50 pounds, that is a significant amount to lose. Did your PS not suggest that you wait to lose a little more before your surgery? You will have better results if you are thinner, good luck.

And as to your chart we done refer anything as a ratical hyst and I circulate in or for hyst everyday; I know what is on the paper work because I fill it out; different places may call things different in medical field; as to my paperwork I had a total hyst and everything was removed.

Well I hardly think it matters, and this will be my last reply on this subject. It is clearly different in different areas because I was originally considering a radical hysterectomy, so yes, they are referred to as such in at least part of the medial field. We will have to agree to disagree. But this thread is not about this at all. Sorry to everyone else that it's been taken this far!! :)

Talk of all this hysterectomy got me thinking lol maybe you need your homones checked? I had a complete hysterectomy about 11 yrs ago and that is one of the reasons that I could not lose weight plus my bad eating habits and a few other things. Are you on HRT?

        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.

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
