Last month (June) I had 2 periods. I am contributing it to my weight loss. The other problem that has recently popped up is a yeast infection that I cant seem to get rid of. I have done OTC meds., all the home remedies that i can think of, and recently took a 3 day dose of Diflucan. It feels like it is better but not completely gone. I have NEVER had this much trouble getting rid of a yeast infection. Is anyone else having or had this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions?

My periods went haywire for a few months after banding, thankfully things have settled down now 8 months out. I think that surgery is a shock to tthe system and much less losing a lot of weight at a fast rate messed up my body rythm. Now that I am near my goal weight I am feeling great.

Can't speak for the yeast infection but I too am seeing that my periods are off track. I'm glad to see this post because I never had this problem before banding and in fact I was like clockwork every 28 days. This month I was not expecting to see o'l aunt flo for another 6 days...... So glad to know that this is common.

soocal is right. There are other possibilities that you might think could be a yeast infection. Chalmydia, haemopheolus B, Beta Strep .... and others. Call the doc who prescribed the Diflucan and tell them you are better but not cured and you want to come back to see the doc.

Thank you everyone for the posts. I FINALLY got rid of it. I knew that it wasn't anything else but this, because I am current on my pap's, blood tests, etc. The doc tested for UTI, kidney and bladder infection. On the 3rd day of the 3 day dose of Diflucan, I decided to try the vinegar bath again, and sleep without underwear, the next day I felt 80 to 90 percent better. I sleep without underwear for 2 nights and it seemed to work. I was so greatful...........then I started my &*^$% period AGAIN. ERRRRRRRRRRRR.....I can't win for nothing these last few months.

I am sure it will straighten out in a few months. My body still has to adjust to the dramatic weightloss (58 lbs. in 5 months).

Thanks again to all that replied to me. It's nice to know that others know what I am going through and are now scared to share it.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
