Don't be scared. Everyone is different. I only had problems after my surgery, but since you're already one month out you should be fine. I love my IUD and wish I had gotten it years ago.

Same situation here as well. I have Mirena. No period last 2 years and as soon as I had surgery started a period. Lasted 2 weeks. Stopped for a week and started up again. I’m so glad someone started this thread because I’ve been wondering as well!!! Also had a slight uti about a week ago. Feel better knowing it’s happening to others!!

Actually, I suffer from severe menstrual cramps, I been on every contraceptive, ring, and implant...and nothing works. My doctor didn't have a problem with it.

Doctors specifically told me that the surgery, I think specifically general anesthesia stuff, will interrupt the effectiveness of your birth control for a week out. They said it to me so many times. So that might be why??

I'm not on any birth control and my period still went wacky directly after surgery. My cycle came two weeks early (just days after surgery) and was heavy for about a week only for it to come back at it's normally scheduled time a week later. It took about 6 months for me to completely regulate but now 15 months post op my periods are the best they have ever been. I always suffered from long heavy erratic periods but now they are regular. My OBGYN said that it is 100% from the weight loss effecting hormones.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
