Menstraul Cycle?!?!



Recommended Posts

I am 2 days out (I have surgery scheduled for Wednesday 7/31/13).

Let me give you a little background. I have had my tubes tied in 2010 and a Uterine Ablation in 2012 so I haven't had a period in over a year. Now I am assuming becuase of my diet it has my body in a state of chaos and I have started spoting.

I have emailed my doctor, but now I am stressing that they won't be able to do the surgery if I am on my period? Any advice??

They will do it, I was on mine as well.. it was super embarrassing for me because of the catheter, but that was the least of my worries once I was on the feel good meds :) You will be fine!

Do they do the catheter when you are awake? Does it hurt when they put it in?

I also had tubes tied, ablation, and last year was put on a medicine whose side effect is no periods...and I started spotting today......hopefully that's all.....I wonder if it's anxiety about surgery or if it's the small weight loss.

Good news is this won't stop the surgery. Good luck on Wed.!

They put mine in once I was out, i don't remember it being put in. When they took it out it didn't hurt, it just felt weird.

I am sure it's anxiety... I can stop thinking about this.

Thanks

I had my surgery last Thursday and today I started spotting. I figure it's just the stress my body is going under after the procedure.

Not everyone has a catheter, either. I didn't, nor did I have a drain.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
