Did anyone have a change up with their monthly after surgery? I know that Im not pregnant. Already tested myself b4 surgery and after.

My husband got scared when he saw all the tests. We have two little ones already.

Also what is a realize band that I keep reading about?

Anesthesia can TOTALLY mess up your cycle. I had an appendectomy in high school and it too a YEAR for my period to regulate back to normal.

Not unusual at all.

I had surgery on May 16th and got my period three days later...I wasn't due for another 2 weeks. It made me cranky.

My TOM has become much more intense, and I am on the pill. I see a definite difference post banding. It is almost like the intensity has doubled. It is not the same issue but similar in that there is a definite hormonal difference post banding.

Any stress to your body such as surgery can disrupt your period. Not only that, but losing weight quickly can upset it too. Your body is trying to conserve its supplies, so to speak, and getting rid of your period is one way to do it.

I missed my period if I got sick or had any emotional upset when I was younger. Don't have to worry about that any more.

I've had 14+ operations and this is the FIRST time I did not get my period back. I mean I was already irregular, but this is a first for me. My doctor did say that since our hormones are stored in our fat it is possible that by body is adjusting to the changes.

Crazy... 5 months with no cycle?!

Man when I was younger any MAJOR stressfull times would trigger my period. not so much anymore now though but still things like a surgery will trigger it still. no matter when in the cycle it happens i can count on TOM visiting if the stress/anxiety level gets high enough.

I got my period the morning of the surgery.... blech! As if I wasn't feeling gross enough when I woke up!

Since then, it has been really bizarre. It's probably something to do ith going on the pill - I started back on the pill the same day as the surgery, after having a contraceptive implant removed 3 months before. Since the surgery, I get a period about every 2 weeks, and they last about a week. Even on the pill. It's crazy-go-nuts. Then again, I also have severe polycystic ovarian syndrome. So I'm 3 months banded and have a completely messed up cycle. I've been waiting a month to get an appointment with the gynaecologist, and they think it will be about another 3 months before I can get in. So for now, all I can do is wait! Grrrr!

It is prob. because u had the implants removed and your cycle has been stopped for so long... it will regulate after a few months....

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
