Hello! I had surgery on 10/7/14 and have lost 50 lbs to date. Yeah hurray!. However, after being in menopause for at least 3 years, I found I've started my period again I'm only 51 yet wondering if I could really be getting my period back again and, if so, should I worry about pregnancy? Has anyone else got their period back after being post-menopausal?

So far, the result seems to be unknown but leaning towards out of control hormones. However, I haven't had another period (yet). Since I got it back in January, I've had exams, sonogram, several different blood tests, and uterine lining biopsy - all okay - no cancer or anything like that. Did see some weird lab results that would indicate some hormones are still playing havoc on me. I had removed some hormone pellet remnants along with dead fat lump where they were injected last month with outpatient surgery,. I'm having seromas and hematomas from that so I have a big bump on my butt. The doctor aspirated it today and got out 50 cc of Fluid but still a bump at the incision site. Doctor wants me to redo labs in 6 months to see how the hormones are behaving. So I'll be waiting to see if I get another period or it was a fluke. Thanks for asking.

1) Absolutely. I had so well prepared myself that it was relatively easy to adopt to different foods, different ways of doing thing. I wasn't even scared going under that I had made a mistake. Never once have I wished I hadn't done it. It is just such a relief to be freed of weight gain worries. Course I am only 4 months out, but it has become such a lifestyle it is like it never happened - I just eat a lot less than I used to and keep getting healthier. 2) Wish I had been prepared for additional hormonal changes. Although I had be menopausal for years, it appears I have had a reversal of all that.

Thank you all! Will make an appt with OBG soon! Never expected this.....

I told my boss I was having a "female" surgery but needed to be on a special diet. I was out 3 weeks but did work online during the entire time. My boss is so happy that I had surgery because he says my attitude is much improved He thinks the weight loss is a bonus!
