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:

      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.
