Question for the girls

Anybody spotting? I had my surgery on the 7th and have been spotting ever since.

Laura, I haven't experienced this yet. But on one of the other boards they were talking about that as you loose weight your hormones will go haywire for a while. Your body is going through alot of changes and the alot hormones are stored in our fat and as we loose it, we loose some of the hormones. Everything will eventually even out or if it gets real bothersome your gyn might consider placing you on a low dose birthcontrol pill to help even them out. Good luck, hope this was helpful.

I have not had this problem with this surgery but I have had a good number of surgeries in the past and that has been an issue most times. I would spot for 2-4 weeks and then eventually return to normal. Which for me was entirely irregular.

I wonder if that's what's wrong with me! I had a hysterectomy a few years ago, but still have my ovaries. The last two days all I want to do is curl up and cry. No matter how trivial things are, they're enough to devistate me. Maybe it's hormones, and I'm not really going crazy??? I didn't know about hormones being stored in the fat.

I am spotting.. I had my surgery June 25. I feel like crap also. Very lazy and miserable. UGH!

I'm so sorry. I feel very similiar though. I don't want to do anything. My house looks like a warzone, and I can't get off my bum to do anything about it! My side really hurts...I think I've pulled some muscles...and I've got a weird nerve damage feeling on my tummy. But the worst is the emotions! I either want to take someone's head off, or cry nearly all the time. I don't like it! I haven't even been good about walking. Mainly, it's the pain it causes, but I just don't have the drive I'm supposed to have right now. Hope you are able to get an answer for you soon. Feel better! Jeannie

my periods were all crazy because of the weight- and my counselor and ob/gyn say the same thing- your body is going to do weird things as it adjusts- if it makes you feel any better know this- 5 min before my surgery this last monday i started my period heavily- what a terrible time to start- then of course when i woke from surgery this ginormous hospital couldnt find kotex for me- i had a towel taped to my butt for several days while walking down the hall - the nurses kept calling me sumo woman- i wanted to smack them- but even in my state saw the humor and agreed it was quite funny in a really sad kind of way- ugh i am glad to be home and i have stopped bleeding

Hi! i am three years out (Aug 2004) and i know that i got my period full blown when i woke up, but i assumed it was cause they had me off of all my meds (including BC pills) Laurie
