Sparklette 381 Posted June 11, 2013 Okay, so I'm 7 weeks out, and this is super TMI. About three weeks ago, I started my period; it lasted about three days, which was normal for me. About two days after it was over, it started again, heavier. It lasted about three days, again. Two days after that, it started again, and I'm shocked that I have this much blood in my body. Anyone else going through this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deaddemmama 474 Posted June 11, 2013 Not after this surgery( had a hysterectomy in 08), but my period was screwed up for about four months after my heart surgery in 2000... my obgyn said it was because I had stressed my body or rather that it had been " insulted" by being operated on. Mine evened out but it was a pain in the butt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeticiaHuggins 177 Posted June 11, 2013 I got my period the day I was discharged. It was really heavy and for 2-3 days. It only comes once ever month but like you said... Dang, where is all this blood coming from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicole K 352 Posted June 11, 2013 It will be crazy for a few months and then it will straighten itself out. If it doesn't after a few months, contact your OBGYN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kristy3k 1,133 Posted June 11, 2013 Its the hormones being released from the fat. I went thru it for about 8 months. I did see my ob gyn because your Iron levels do get low. I had an ablation done. It didn't stop the periods but they are however lighter and more manageable. Hang in there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparklette 381 Posted June 11, 2013 Thanks ladies! It just a little crazy. Each time I think it is done my uterus is like "here have some more!" And I am like "uterus! Stop!" 1 aba9903 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacqueline K 93 Posted June 11, 2013 Thanks ladies! It just a little crazy. Each time I think it is done my uterus is like "here have some more!" And I am like "uterus! Stop!" Yes! I had mine the week before surgery then 3 days after surgery it came back! I was like no its not time. Surgery was on 5/30 and I'm still bleeding- it's not heavy and hasn't been but its annoying. Needs to stop already. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fangirlgettingskinny 0 Posted June 12, 2013 My surgery is June 17. I am having RNY. My period is due any day now, and I may have it on day of surgery. Will that keep me from being able to have the surgery on time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im praying mine stays stopped thru tomorrow at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
