PMS with band

[lovekatz1975 1]

The one thing that really changed for me, I've been breaking out REALLY BAD during my TOM.

Up until 1 year ago, I never got my cycle. Sounds crazy, but after I left my husband, 3 weeks later I started getting it again on a 4-6 schedule.

Since I got the band I've been on a 4 week schedule.

Oh yeah, I've also been getting REALLY moody when I'm ovulating. I get very depressed, crying all the time, then I get really nasty...I should talk to my doctor about this.

a little off topic of all of this talk but is everyone rugular still I have always been very regular for the (T.O.M.) and wandered if that continued after being banded. I am wanting to have it done and wasnt sure if any of that was efected. Still young and want to have kids still.

My TOM is still regular after surgery. I am less than 3 months post-op though.

I have very little restriction during PMS and then GREAT restriction during TOM. I actually lose weight now during TOM because I eat so little.

My Dr said that when you lose alot of weight that your body produces/absorbs its hormones differently. Women not having periods start having them. He even said that monthly symptoms might change.

Ohh my gosh, ladies. I am so opposite. I know when I am about to have TOM visit because my band get's so tight. I have to basically do liquids a day or two before and a day or so into it. I have always had cravings during that time so I really can't say if it's worse since being banded or not, but know I just cant indulge. My fill dr. told me that I might get tighter and I sure enough do. I also do not do fills the week of TOM. The worst part is not only to I have PMS but I have a liquid diet to go with it.:confused:

I'm glad to read this thread! I'm having TOM right now and I've been munching and wanting chocolate. I've indulged a little and been mad at myself for it. It should be over soon though, so hopefully I'll go back to normal.

ok, i am SOO very happy to have found this thread!! my TOM is next week and today i found myself able to eat more and more and feeling practically NO RESTRICTION!

here's the other thing....i'm scheduled for a fill tomorrow!! AND...today when i weighed i had a 2lb GAIN!!! i am almost sure its bc i'm ovulating and have bloating, etc...typical symptoms....BUT, i really do not want to put off my fill.....

whats the worse that could happen if i get a fill tomorrow instead of waiting until after my TOM???

anyone know? this is literally the first i have ever heard of ppl saying they can eat more w/less restriction during TOM! again, i'm happy to have found this thread....i feel much better knowing i'm not the only one and i had no idea it would be related to my TOM at all! thanks for posting this one!
