I have had my menstrual period twice this month and do not know if this is normal or what. Has anybody that has had surgery had this happen to them? Could it be due to the hormonal change that I might be going through? The first time was not even my normal timing and this time was when I was supposed to have it. Is their something I should be doing or should I call my surgeon what do you all think?

The thing is I always have my period on the same day I'm very regular so that is what is kinda getting me sketchy. The first time I had bleed pretty well and this time not so much. So pleas give me some advice or let me know if this is something that happens to some patients after w.l.s.

yes, it happens often to women who menstruate. It is from hormone dumping, as hormones are stored in fat and when the fat is broken down and used during weight loss, the hormones flood your blood stream and can cause break thru. 

They can also make us *****y or Whiney

, but none of it lasts.

Thank you for the reassurance.. I think I am just coming up with anything everything to have anxiety about since the though of the actual surgery is a little daunting. Best wishes!

I'M a big girl as well and also had surgery with Dr, Quinones and had to go through the same thing with the plain. But you can ask ahead of time it their are seats open that they might be able to put you in one by your self or most of the time the plain is not even full just weight tell the plain get aborted and move to a different seat. you will be just fine and you should not worry about what other think just remember that you are doing this for your health and one day we will be able to get on a plain with no problem.

Before I lost weight, I used to fly once a year and it was never a pleasant experience.  I used to dread it, actually.  I was actually bigger than you, at a size 26.  Just remember that these flights will hopefully be your last ones at this uncomfortable weight and grin and bear it.  I had my surgery in Mexico, despite having family members disagree with my decision, and I have never been happier.  The only regret I have is not having done this sooner.  Good luck to you.

Thanks!   Yep, just gritting my teeth and dealing with it is going to have to be a game plan.  Thank you for a nice and down to earth reply. Best wishes!!
