Omg. I had a 3 week period and if it would have lasted another week I would have called dr. I am sure everything is ok, your body is changing and trying to adjust. But two months.... Eek :( that is too long for comfort. Definitely contact dr to get the we need to see you or the nah it's ok. Let us know!

I agree, contact your dr asap. That much bleeding could make you anemic.

My periods have just started to get back to normal. So I would expect some abnormal prioress but not one that last 2 Months!

So I am not the only one! I had a period for 3 1/2 months strong. I found out after many tests and doctors visits this is caused from all the hormones that hide in your fat cells and once you loose that fat those hormones are set free. Also, learned that when you had your menstruation cycle before you lost weight you might have not been releasing eggs like normal. So this period you are on now could be releasing the eggs that you were suppose to be loosing. I had to go on hormone therapy for a while and then found out that I am fertile myrtle and I had way too many eggs for the age I was. So that was another root cause why I was having a horrid heavy 3 1/2 period. I also had to go on extra Iron as well because I was becoming anemic. Defiantly meet with your doctor and as well with your OB to see if they can do a pelvic ultra sound so they can see whats going on.

I bled for 8 weeks post-op. It stopped last week. Of course I had called my surgeon and been told it happens. I also called me OB/GYN and scheduled an appt. The first time I could get in was this week. It stopped as soon as I scheduled an appt with my OB/GYN. It's been gone almost a week. I'm loving NOT bleeding! LOL

During all this bleeding, my Mirena fell OUT! 1 day later the bleeding stopped. I wonder if the combination of the hormones from surgery and hormones from the Mirena were causing the bleeding.

I've had two periods since my surgery and they didn't start on time but they only lasted 4-5 days, which is a little longer than normal. But anytime they last that long is a problem....Good Luck but contact you doctor ASAP!

Yep, I pulled a tampon out and along with it came my Mirena! At least my bleeding stopped the next day!!! :-) It hurt like a son of a gun when it came out!! If you're bleeding for weeks on end, make sure your Mirena is in place!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
