Ladies — post op period



Recommended Posts

My first period a few weeks post op was horrendous. Comparable to after delivering a child. I read this is normal but my question is does this last just 1-2 cycles or does it take 6 months plus to return to your pre op normal?

My periods have been more regular/predictable. I think I have less cramping now than I did before surgery/weight loss, but the blood loss is horrific. It's a lot heavier than it ever was before. I also have terrible cramping mid-cycle when I'm ovulating, which is new. I had to leave work early last week because I was worried I had appendicitis or something. I'm seeing my OB/GYN in early May to discuss an endometrial ablation or some other option to reduce the bleeding.

Mine have been all over the place since surgery, but I also started birth control around the same time as surgery, so I put my body through a lot of changes at one time.

I'm dreading my first post-op period, which is due at any time. It was supposed to start the day of surgery, but....**shrugs**
My pre-op periods were never too pleasant, so I'm freaking out a little bit about the first on post-op.

      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?
