Menopause, now spotting??



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I was banded on May 27th and things have been going well. I am through menopause, or so I thought. I have not had a period for a year and a half. Yesterday, I had a small amount of spotting?? I wondered if this has happened to anyone else. I am going to call my family Dr. tomorrow, but just wondered if this is something that happens?

Thanks.

It happened to me also. but at the time I was not banded. I went to the Doctor and she was not concerned at all. and everything checked out ok. So don't worry but be sure and see a doctor so they can rule out anything serious.

I had gone a lot longer than that. Band went on 3/9, had fill on 4/13 on the 15th I started. I thought it would just be spotting. NOT!!! 4 days of something that hadn't happened in 6 years. There had been spots but not a full cycle. Then on the 15th of the next month I had all the side effects. Cravings and bloating and back pain. I can't wait to see what happens in the next week.

I am right there with you, basically they explained it as women store estrogen in their fat and as you lose weight the estrogen is set free upon our bodies and that causes strange menstral issues... I thougth I was done too, but alas, not so after losing 20 lbs.

Thanks everyone for answering. I figured it had something to do with weight loss and the surgery. Just when you think you are done, it's BACK. Thankfully, it only appears to be spotting for now and I hope that is the end. We shall see.

      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.

      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!
