Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Kenya I know what you mean girl, luckily for me I alternate bad months with good ones, One month I am in bed for 2 days then the next its an easy period, luckily this is the easy month, no cramps no bottomless pitt syndrome and not so much yuckyness as of yet, last month I was in bed for 2 days was a raging ball of hormones and OMG the cramps and zits....uggggghhhhhhhhhhh

Mine used to last a week when I had them
When you are out of your rapid losing stage, and go back on pills, that might smooth things out a bit. If it's really bad, talk about it with your gyn/ob.

Well, I finally had one since going off the depo shots before my surgery and I have been on it for 8 days now, every day brings cramps and yesterday I woke up in a puddle of blood! Sorry if TMI, but when I got out of bed to clean the mess and shower, clots just gushed out of me! Seems my old friend is back! This is why I was on the depo shots, I had NO period when on them, I am considering a hysterectomy now!

This issue I would have to say is my most negative side effect of surgery for me. All else is good and I dont regret any of my journey at all. But the TOM time is the worst. I always had it kinda bad before surgery but its much worse now. Heavy and lots of clots, sorry TMI. but its bad. I dread it every month now. I thought maybe it would slow down since I am out of the rapid weight loss stage but it doenst seem to be happening. But I guess if this is the worse out of my surgery I will live with it. I can defintely relate to you though.

i guess its not so bad hearing about others. maybe im just spoiled if always been light and 3 days TOPS. never ever had cramps or nausea or anything. now, i am in bed with a rag on my head, praying i die in my sleep LOL!!! (not literally but you know...)

the sweetest thing is that "the guy" asked if there was anything he could do??? i thought guys were suppose to run for the hills when women talk about TOM. he asked me if i wanted him to rub my belly or just hold me???? IM KEEPING HIM!!!!!!!

sorry KB...


Kenya: I have had heavy periods from the day it started. 7days min, sometimes up to 9. heavy the whole time, massive massive cramps, migraine, zits, the whole lot..... just my luck...haha
it has kind of, kind of, quieted down since I had my son, not nearly as painful, the whole lot is kind of...muted (?) except the zits.....im 31! not darn 13!!!! grrrr lol

I really really hope this tom doesnt go back to what it used to be! I have never been anaemic, but Im guessing that would happen after surgery if it goes really bad again...?

Honestly I think this warrants a trip to your GYN. Why? We dont have to live like this. They may just change the birthcontrol your taking now and it may help alot. They have come up with so many new ones now some dont even give you a period. I had to lose my baby making parts at age 29. It was a 50/50 emotion on my part. So go and see whats going on with ya and let us know.
