Gastric bypass and periods

[Mizzidaj 1]

Ok so it’s been 6 months already and my periods are soooo painful! I literally had to quit my job cause I can’t deal with it during my days . Is it normal? Every time I’m on my period I feel terrible! I’m very nauseous all the time, I get car sick, I feel bloated, really heavy periods, everything I eat makes me sick, I get Migraines, I get dizzy, my body is in pain, I sometimes feel so weak I can’t even walk or get out of bed 😔 what is wrong with me is this normal?

Your hormones have gone on a crazy ride because of the surgery. You need to speak to your Gynaecologist, periods shouldn't be debilitating.

Sounds like the answer is that he or she has never seen this. I do agree with making sure to take your birth control pills because it can help regulate your period but also you are super fertile right now. Many doctors recommend redundant forms of birth control immediately post op for a while. Have you asked your surgeon about your symptoms??
