I got my second period post op and OMG PAIN.....my first one I was still on pain meds a couple days after surgery so I didn't feel a thing. My ovaries feel like they are gonna rip out of my stomach. I called my bariatric clinic and they said to take extra strength tylenol and follow up with family doctor. I had my VSG on Aug 22nd anyone have any advise...is this normal ...will it always be like this ?

Thanks

I had my first period (becuz i stopped BC the day before surgery) on the following 3rd day after. I was on meds and it helped...but my back was hurting and my stomach felt sick etc.... I started back on BC today and so I wont be having my second period for 3 weeks...but im sure these are the keys to getting through it....I will also be doing this...

Extra Strength Tylenol ( as much as you can take in a day)
Warm towel folded and put it on your tummy/back
Hot Tea/Good Movie
Take a nap
:)

you will get through it!!!

I am not on BC as I have been fixed but I feel like going back on it to control my period...I guess I will talk to my doctor about options. Thanks for your kind words I know it will get better tomorrow

I have been on BC since I had my surgery and I still go longer and cramp more. Before I had my vsg I was luck to have a period every other month and the past 2 monts it has been like clock work.

Yes it's normal. My period has been all kinds of crazy. Weight loss like this releases hormones in to the body. It's a crazy fun ride!

Just make sure you aren't going over 4grams in total a day (8 Extra strength tylenol) It's hard on your liver. If you are allowed to take Ibuprofen post VSG then that might work better. I don't know what the rules are on that one though.

I believe there are a list of OK meds for migranes..but most have anti-inflammatories...which are a no-no. So i suggest you ask before hand if their is a strong med for migranes that is okay for VSG I get migranes too..but they tend to go away after I rest... or one day...
