Bright red period following Tummy tuck, arm lift and breast augmentation. Any suggestions?

Asked By:MiamiMommy83 in Miami, FL

I had a TT, AL, &BA last Wednsday. The surgery was causing issues with my lap band and not allowing me to eat/drink. After conferring with my PS and Bariatric surgeon, my BS UNfilled my band today and provided much relief. However, I had been coughing a lot due to the reflux the band was causing. Today, I had bright red vaginal bleeding. My PS said early periods can be triggered by surgery, but I am never 10 days early and never have bright red blood with no clots. Does this sound normal to you?
