Flo (For the Ladies Please)
Ok, I've always have had a regular cycle & it was kinda heavy. Since surgery its still regular but it has gotten so much heavier. Is this normal after having the surgery? I'm usually a 7 day cycle with the first 4 days being my heaviest. I was hoping after losing some weight it would kinda slack off rather than get heavier. Just curious what others have experienced since their surgeries.
Highest weight : 315 lbs, Surgery weight: 298.5 lbs, Current weight: 183.5 lbs
It's normal for it to get goofy after surgery. I actually went three months without a period after surgery, which I was happy about because I ended up with pneumonia and was in the hospital and it would have been a real mess, then was very irregular for the whole first year. Then it was back to normal. But many people seem to have longer or heavier cycles at first. It's the weird hormones, I think. It should even out as time goes by.

My cycle is extremely heavy after surgery, the first 4 days are the worst! I am changing every 1.5 hours and the cramps/lower back pains are worse. I had to take a percocet just to get some sleep/relief. My doctor says it will get better. I hope/pray she is right.
