Ok i was diagnosed with pcos. I have always been a real bad bleeder and blood clots and severe cramps. i mean so severe i couldnt go to work i could bearly move without looking like someone was stabbed me to death. since 2 weeks after the band i have not one period and no cramp. What could be going on? anyone have had what i have and having the same thing going on?

I too have PCOS, and have been bleeding like it is going out of style. I was bleeding all the time, so they put me on Birth control. I have just been banded on the 12th, so I don't know yet how my periods will be. BUT, I have heard that when you lose weight like you have, the periods will regulate themselves, and we won't bleed so much.

Well, I hope that is it...cause I would love to throw my BC out the window! Good Luck with everything!!

good luck to u 2

I have PCOS and am a super heavy clotting bleeder as well. My period starts at a regular time 28 days, but can be really heavy and last a long time. I had my surgery on September 3rd and just finally got my period the other day. It was pretty late and not anywhere NEAR as heavy as it normally is. It's been kinda nice having a "normal" period without going through a tampon or pad every 15 minutes! LOL

My regular doctor told me when you are doing low carb like I've been doing since getting the surgery and losing weight...you may start to regulate. He said that many women after losing some weight find that they were never able to get pregnant before...but suddenly find themselves pregnant....so he actually suggested that I think about going back on the pill or some form of birth control although I haven't for a long time since I was not able to get pregnant.

Your period will come....your body is probably still in shock from the trauma of having surgery
