hey Megan
Not sure if its "normal" but we're about the same size to start with.. and i spot almost daily also. Its been to the point that i wear pads daily just in case! I can go from 0 to 60 without any onset warnings. Sucks.
Although, my doctor said that a few months post-op I should start having more regular cycles again. I haven't had one of those in probably a good 4-5 years.
but kinda on the same subject.. and kinda icky lol. With the unknown spotting and cycles.. what happens if I have it in the hospital? I know that I'll have the catheter in for the first night at least.. don't think I can walk with that tube and no panties/pad if I'm having issues. Did anyone run up against this? Its kinda embarassing for me to ask my doctor.. and i'm such a private person i'd rather be prepared for it ahead of time
