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.

      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.
