Female problems post op...



Recommended Posts

Hey guys! Sleeved on the 19th, 5 days post op. I got my period a week before surgery, it ended a couple of days prior to surgery and now I'm spotting, or possibly starting my period again. I am on the mini pill, and I was late taking my pill on first day post op because I was npo. Is this normal?!

Thanks everyone!!

It certainly can be. Even the stress of surgery can cause an irregularity. If you're very concerned, call your gyne. And don't forget to use something else for birth control this month since you were late a day.

after surgery there is no such thing as normal. I think anything is possible. Be on the look out for more or less than normal. After surgery, I missed a month and then the following months were PURE HELL!!! Now 8 months later I am sorta back to normal.

I posted a thread awhile back about what to pack for the hospital, and someone mentioned bringing pads since sometimes all of the drastic change can cause your period to start. I'm guessing it's not too abnormal. Other than that, how are you feeling?

I'm feeling ok. A bit tired but I had a lot of nausea/vomitting post op. I feel like I'm doing ok. 5 days post op and I got 44oz of Fluid in and 1 Protein Shake. For a total of 36g. Protein. I'm having a hard time getting in 3 shakes , it makes me nauseated and then I don't want to drink for a couple hours

Sounds like you're heading in the right direction! I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
