I've had surgery twice this month. I had the sleeve and then a stricture repair. Both times I fit a period the next day. Not only does rapid weight loss rock your hormones but so does anesthesia. I was told that by my surgeon. So it's a double whammy!

I was told this from my PA as well. I am however post surgical menopause 13 years. I was very emotional and she said it's from stored estrogen in the fat.

Same thing happened to me. My GYN couldn’t explain it. It worked itself out after a few months though.

this isn't all that uncommon. A lot of people get hormone dumps and their systems go haywire for awhile (affects some people's moods, too). Some people have said it's because estrogen is stored in fat, and when you lose weight really fast, all the extra estrogen is released. I don't know if that's true, but it makes sense. It should straighten itself out in a couple of months.

I'm 5 weeks post-OP vsg and I'm having a period every other week. I've always been constant as far as getting it 28 days. Is this happening to any of you?
