First Menstrual cycle...Help



Recommended Posts

Ok...so TMI I know but...I am just starting into my first menstrual cycle and I am feeling kinda funny. I was banded 6/19 and tomorrow is my first day of mushies (yeah). I'm feeling a little light headed and dizzy today...could this be that I am just really hungry or is this normal with your cycle after being banded.

Don't worry about the TMI, a lot of us have information we can share/ask about since we have a common experience, but that said, perhaps you haven't found the sub forum for women where you may get other answers. I didn't discover some of those sub forums till I'd been here several months. I just didn't scroll down far enough.

My first cycle after banding was odd. It was longer than usual. Try stepping up the Iron in your foods, or if it gets to be worse see if you can get the OK for an iron supplement from your doctor.

my OB/said it was to my weight gain. And know that I have lost weight it has started it was kinda weird. I have been drained so tired.

We were banded the same the day and you able to go mushies. My DR. has his patient on liquids for three weeks. I envy you.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
