Hi, for all you ladies out there who are still visited by aunt flow every month, how was it affected after surgery? I feel like a mess in that department and am not sure what is going on. My mood is sour and I want to bite everyone's head off so that seems like PMS but could just be that I'm a !@#$

If you don't mind sharing something so personal than I would appreciate the advice.

My period started in the hospital a couple of hours after my surgery. Let's just say it didn't make any of the surgery pains any easier. It seemed heavier than normal and lasted a full day longer. 😒

I'm 3.5 months out. My cycle is all over the place. First cycle was 5 weeks apart, then 3 weeks, then 6 weeks, then 2 weeks. And they are heavy - much heavier than before. And worse cramps. Maybe it'll even out?

My first period after surgery was a few days post-op, which was a few days early. I started birth control shortly after surgery and my last period was super light as a side effect.

That sounds awesome. =( My cycle is already not normal. I hope it evens out.

      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?
