I started my period early after my surgery too... As a matter of fact it seems quite common because I've seen lots of women discussing it here.. And the brownish color I read around here too. So hopefully that helps .

Mine started early to, in fact a few hrs after surgery! For some reason they ate a little different after surgery. Not sure why its brownish color, but for me its Brown right when I start and at the end. Lots of women are experiencing the same thing, so I'm thinking it might just be the trama your body is going through. I have had four periods so far and I'm fine

I had my surgery on 3/19 and started my stupid period on 3/20, about 10 days early. It looks like it's pretty common just by the responses here.

I also got my period early. I weighed myself one day and was up 3 lbs. I couldn't understand why. Then later that morning it came. Can't seem to get the scale to budge. Very depressing since its so close to surgery. How is everyone else doing with weight loss while they have their period?

I was sleeved march 6 2013 and i have pcos and after my surgery 1 day post op I got my period and I panicked because I haven't gotten my period since October 2012 due to my pcos so it could be a hormonal thing

      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!
