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!!!

      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.
