A question for the ladys

[KimK813 2]

OK, I have been on BC since I was 17 and my periods are like clockwork. I had surgery and BOOM, three heavy periods in 6 weeks. Went to my GYN and she said not to worry, surgery and weight loss are a shock to the system. In about 2 months, everything was on schedule again. As for hair loss, make sure you are getting plenty of Protein. I also added Biotin to my supplements. It promotes hair nail and skin health. For me, it worked great!

Good luck, everyone!

i was recently banded....but I do know that all types of things affect the hormones in your body. Stress, surgery, and weight loss just to name a few...Enjoy it

I was always irregular that is why I was on BC. Had to give that up 8 weeks prior to surgery, so I was not happy when I got my period the morning after surgery. I then went 6 weeks without one to only get a light one for 2 weeks. I talked to the NP about it and she said it is normal, but I am also now on the Depo shot which also can cause the same thing, so I am unsure of what it is, but I will not be getting the Depo shot again, so I shall see!

They say that the surgery can mess with your schedule, because of the invasiveness to your body. Unfortunately mine didn't mess me up at all!! I wouldn't stress- just relax

Katyana is right. Our bodies store hormones in the fat we are all fighting to get rid of. Now that we are burning that aft for energy instead of using food as the primary source all those chemicals are being released into our system. Just like many suffers of PCOS see symptoms disappear others will notice changes to menses as well. Hang in there, your body will work through it and adjust to your new normal....as you will to the new you.

My periods have been going crazy. I get about two a month with maybe a week and a half between. I am considering going on bc, but dont really want to. I went from having one period every 4 mths to this! I am hoping that after i lose more weight, my body will be able to fluctuate better

I went from not having a period for 15 months pre-surgery to having three in six weeks immediately post-surgery. Now almost five months post, I am back on monthly schedule but, oh boy, is this one a doozy! At the risk of TMI, I got out of bed this morning to go for a walk but needed a shower and to change my bed instead!

This hits so close to home. Actually I just found out I am 6 weeks pregnant on Sept 1st. But I had also posted somewhere in here about if being late was normal. Anyhow,my surgery date was june 29th '11 and my last period ( which came two weeks early) was June30th '11. I never got my period and was totally.freaked so I took four pregnancy tests and they were all neg. Went to the er last thur for severe stomache cramps which I thought was my lap band...nope you have a uti..and you're pregnant. Haha,me and my husband just shared our one year anniversary and didn't do anything but think about the best gift ever,our little baby. Anyway moral of the story,never hurts to go to the doc. I'm not saying your pregnant or anything but there might be a.other reason for it!
