Period came early after surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone🖐. 1st post here... I had the rny on 4/4. 2 days after surgery I started what I think is my period. It wasn't due till the 14th. Could the blood thinners they gave me after surgery have caused it start early? Just wondering if anyone else's period popped up early after surgery. Side note- I'm normally VERY regular. Thanks in advance.

Seems like almost every premenopausal chick on here does that. Suspect it could be blood thinners, the shock of major surgery or hormones being released from your fat stores. One skosh older lady said it's like puberty, pregnancy and menopause rolled together, but you don't get a cute baby out of the deal. And prepare yourself for some mood swings because of those durn hormones releasing back out, most seem to get cranky and easily offended, but it will pass. Bad things usually do, your ride might her bumpy but the weight loss and clothing sizes,getting smaller, the renewed energy makes it all worth while. Smile, every stage you go through leads to victory[emoji14]

I am going through menopause no period for 10 months and bam! 3 weeks after surgery I started. 8days from Hell. Going to make an appointment for a full checkup since I am due for one.

It’s the shock of surgery. My daughter had major back surgery when she was 15. They told us to bring pads with us to the hospital. (We knew she would be there for at least 5 days) Sure enough, she had a period 3 days after the surgery. So also had to have surgery again 2 1/2 weeks after the 1st one. 3 days later, her friend came to visit her.


Toodles,
Rue

      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. 🤞
