Ladies only....where's my period!!



Recommended Posts

Sorry, I usually am not one to post stuff like this but I want to know if anyone has experienced this.

Let me say a few things first:

1. I have had my tubes tied for a year.

2. I know that surgery can screw up your cycle.

3. I know that rapid weight loss/change in diet and metabolism can screw up your cycle.

So here's my story.

Banded 2-22-08, had a period like 3 days after surgery, I think a few days early but not sure, I dont track my cycle. I have since not had a period. By my calculations I am about a week late. I normally have 28 to 30 day cycles. My hubby brought this to my attentiion last night. He claims that he thought I was about to start last week, apparently he claims he can "tell".....ok, guess he knows my body better than I do. Anyway I cramped for like 15 min last week and nothing ever happened. DH says I am not acting like I will start anymore....again....ooook....lol. I am aware that I have an increased chance of an ectopic but I don;t think I feel prego.

I know that women who have weird or absent cycles will claim to feel like they will start and never do, but this is all new to me. I have ALWAYS been regular unless I was prego.

Question: How many of you have experienced a messed up cycle due to surgery and/or weight loss?

I was banded on 1/21/08 and I was also late this month (2 weeks). I knew that it was due to the surgery so I did really worry about it.

yes I am very regular. I meant to say that I did not really worry about it because I knew that it was because of the weight loss/surgery.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  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.  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?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’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 I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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. 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 ❤️ Together, we got this!
