I know TMI ..but I wanted to know how the sleeve has effected your monthly visiter? At my heaviest 309 my period just started regulating. Before have my daughter I didn't have a period for a 1yr . Then after I was irregular again then I had birth control paced in it regulated me.. But doctor told me to stop birth control a month before surgery cause the hormones can cause blood clots.

I'm only 17 days post-op but I've already noticed a difference. My cycle has gone from being 40+ days (sometimes over 120 days in length) to being 28 days long as of yesterday! I don't want to get too far ahead of myself and count it as a victory since I'm not even a month out yet, but I'm so, so excited to see that my body is doing something normal for a change.

How far out are you?

Before surgery at 322 I was normal and my visitor was tolerable now The cramping is horendous I never used to bloat now I do and I am very sickly and fatigued the first 4 days. Its pretty annoying bc I am essentially curled in a ball with a heating pad and tylenol that week. Still I regret nothing, best choice ever.

      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.

      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!
