a change of period?



Recommended Posts

I got my monthly on 6/3 it usually lasts about 4-5 days. I was sleeved on 6/24 and then on Friday 6/28 I got it again. So now I'm feeling crampy it's 7/28 so I guess I can expect to get it around this time. Is it the body adjustment? Did this happen to anybody else?

Yes the anesthesia can do whacky things to the menstrual cycle, plus your hormones and body are changing daily. I don't think this is anything to worry about, but if you are concerned you should ask your doctor.

Same thing here. Surgery on 6/7 & cycle came 3 days later. It was 3 weeks early. At 3 mons post op, no cycle for 2 mons, then it returned again 2 times in the same month. Regular cycle started again @ 6 mons post op.

Oh let me tell you I had surgery March 18th 2013 and I was due for my period and it did not come, so by May 18th I had light spotting and then nothing until July 25th. I was soaking through super plus tampons every 1-2 hours I even had to add an overnight pad. This went on for two whole days and now my flow is back to normal. I did some research and apparently when you don't shed the lining it overgrows and builds up and it has to come out some time. I have even read on here where some women have there period continuously for 3 or more weeks after surgery.

Ugh, glad I wasn't the recipient of the gift of a 3 week period! That really would have put me over the edge and I would have done something I regret! Glad to hear it all normalized in a couple of months.

I was sleeved on 6/24 and started spotting during my stay at the hospital. I haven't had a cycle or cramps yet either but mine were not regular before. I had to take Lo Loestren to have them and due to the side effects of blood clots I stopped taking them 4 weeks before surgery and haven't started them back yet. I don't miss my cycle that bad lol..I kinda think our bodies are just off kilter.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
