LOL at *women only please* ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

I think it's fine for guys to learn a thing or two about periods too ๐Ÿ˜‚

Yes sure I agree, just wanted responses based on experience rather than mansplaining.

Not to mention there are people who identify as male or non-binary who menstruate

You can identify as you wish and should be respected as such, however only cis women menstruate, not all cis women do but only cis women can.

Next time someone wants a female response only without having to explain why they may want to post here https://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/432-the-gals-room/. There is an equivalent male room for male specific issuex and/or males who prefer respones from males only.

Male members can read but are not meant to reply in the 'gals room' (and the sames applies to the equivalent males room).

The 'gals' room doesn't preclude biological males who identify as female (and the sames applies to the equivalent males room) but I hope people find a safe place in either room for what they are posting about.

Thanks that's useful information.

Hey All,

I have the Mirena IUD.

(Currently intimacy inactive)

I got it after having my baby end of 2019

I went from having NO cycle 20-21

To having WEIRD cycles and unpredictable spotting AFTER sleeve 12/21.

In the past I did use the Nexplanon (arm) no issues or than (vacation coloring) would be a orange brown hue.

I had surgery Wednesday the 6th and started my period Thursday the 7th. On the 8th when I got discharged I went to go to the bathroom and Iโ€™ve never seen that much blood in my life. But Iโ€™m also on blood thinners. First thing Iโ€™ve noticed is that the bleeding is heavier and my period is lasting longer than 2 days.

Keep an eye on it and make sure you take Iron supplements.

I am cisgender and was born female, but I do know trans men (who were assigned female at birth) who still menstruate every month.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.ย  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.ย  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?ย

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? Itโ€™s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so Iโ€™m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight.ย It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey โค๏ธย Together, we got this!
