Aunt Flow during Surgery?



Recommended Posts

I've had the same thing. Endo was bad and the cysts were terrible. I had to go through infertility treatments to get my girls. I had a lot of mc also which hurt me a lot. After my son I had my tubes tied. That seems to have caused my cycles to get heavier! I've never had them like now. Until I can get approved for that I'm ok dealing with it. Its just weird going all those years w a cycle maybe three times a year to now.

Hey Ladies HUGE question...I know this is personal and tmi but I was wondering if its bad having your aunt flow start during surgery? Because my Surgery in a week from Monday' date=' April 15th and that is the day Aunt Flow is suppose to arrive and I'm thinking how embarrassing its going to be if I am. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />[/quote']

I had surgery last Monday and of course my period started the night before. They simply gave me some strange cotton mesh undies and a huge pad.. Lol.. But nothing like cramps plus pain from 6 incisions.. But I was given Percocet.. Wasn't that bad..

All of the weight loss prior to surgery has triggered three regular months pre-op on a regular basis. This hasn't happened in years, and I don't know what the heck to do about it Lol! I am pretty worried about the cramping and pain of this being added to the surgery pain. Ugh... hope the meds will knock me out.

WOWOWOW Best Topic for me today!!! Glad I'm not alone.

I too am PCOD and with the pre-op weighloss, I got my period 2x regularly and 3rd time should have been last week - and NADA!!! I am really worried it will start just before my April 17th date!!! I haven't used a pad in 25 years! (then again, I've only gotten my period like a dozen times regularly in all of that time LOL). And now this.....ugggg :angry: :ph34r:

      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. 🤞
