Period after Surgery



Recommended Posts

So question..the period the month after you had surgery was it on time or late or weird?

My period was due on Friday, and I have only been spotting without any glow..gross I know.

There is zero chance I am pregnant..my boyfriend is paranoid about ripping stitches and insists we wait.

It's been absolutely haywire since surgery. I actually started immediately after surgery, even though I wasn't supposed to for another 2 weeks. I've been super heavy, super light, and even had a two week run (let me tell you how fun THAT was) post-op. I suppose it will settle down after my weight loss slows up a bit.

This is totally normal. Your period will be out of whack for a while. 5 months though seems like a long time. Let us know how it goes!

I had my first period start right in the recovery room:( was very normal but a week early. I think the stress of surgery started it. I had my next one exactly on time, but noticed its very dark now for a few days, them turns more of the brighter red. Now I am just finishing my third period on time, but bleed pretty heavy for 4 days and still really dark. Mot sure why the. color change. But mostly normal and on time. I am 8 weeks post. Just hope I don't lose the hair..

Mine started the day after surgery. Lasted four days and stopped. Then a week later it started again. Sucks big time.

I started mine the morning of my surgery. The ones after that seemed to go smoothly and normally on time until 6 months out then they started coming farther apart and only last 1-2 days with really light bleeding. I have had blood prego tests done and other blood work. They say everything is normal.

      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!
