How Had Surgery Effected Your Periods?



Recommended Posts

I'm curios to know how the surgery had effected your period. Mine were very heavy for 2 years after having my tubes tied. I had a uterine oblation 5days before gastric bypass. My Dr told me i would either never get it again or it would be very light. I'm now 4days post op and approaching my normal cycle time and I'm wondering if gastric bypass may cause it to come...

I'm 6 months out and to be honest the first few months were awful for me. It was heavy, lasted almost 2 weeks at a time, and even came twice a month for 2 months! And I was on the pill so that upset me even more. But I guess it was all hormonal because for the past two months it's been normal and comes when it's supposed to.

Mine was heavy and lasted 2 Weeks before the oblation. I'm not looking forward to ever seeing it again but I've read on here it's not normal after surgery kinda worried it might come back.

I was suppose to get mine the day of my surgery and didn't. I didn't get it again until a month and a half later. Seems it's coming every 4 weeks again now. Prior to it was a bit sporadic to the point where my doctor tested me for menopause.

Mine were heavy in the 2 years after my tubal ligation too....now I'm 11 months post op RNY, and it is only heavy the first 2 days, then it's light. Pre op I would go for 7-8 days, but now post op I go for 4-5 days!

my superpower is......

      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.
