Menstrual - kind of gross

[nervousnelly719 67]

This may be graphic so I'm sorry in advance. I got sleeved a month ago, ended my period two days before surfery. It would make sense for me to get my period now.. For the last 4-5 days I have a brown discharge, not in mass amounts but pretty much every time I pee I see it... Starting to worry. Did anyone else experience this?

Your hormones are out of whack right now. You may not have ovulated due to the stress of surgery too. You should regulate again on a couple months.

You're going to have mood swings, feel depressed or elated (frequently within minutes of each feeling), and have crazy periods for a while (or get them normalized if you always had crazy periods), and also could have very increased fertility for a while (so make sure you're using birth control and being very careful).

Fat stores hormones. Due to the fast elimination of fat, all those hormones are getting flushed back into your system and basically flooding your body with a constant super dose of crazy-making funtimes ahead.

I am coming up to my 1 year after surgery, and my periods have only recently have started to get back to normal...I also had a lot of discharge (mostly brown too = old blood in your body).....worked it way into having my period in one form or another almost all the time for many months. I have an IUD so I was used to rarely having a period, so needless to say this is ticking me off LOL

Anyway, my gyno didn;t believe that the surgery could do all this so I have had ALL KINDS of testing "to make sure"...many painful too...and nothing is wrong.......just gotta let my body work itself out!

If you are really freaking out, talk to you surgeon or your gyno....whatever you need to feel better....however, this soon after, I would say it is "normal"....everyone is different and you need to listen to your own body and do what makes you feel comfy!

Good luck! Val
