Period??

As anyone else had this problem I'm on the pill and never have spotting or other issues. I had the lap band and I am now 2 1/2 weeks into my pills but I have been spotting to the point it's like I still have my period most days. I was on the pre op diet and lost 20lbs in 14 days and have been post op for 4 days and have really heavy spotting again. Is this normal or should I call my doctor??

weight loss can cause this problem

BUT, IF IN DOUBT ALL THE DOCTOR! PLEASE!

I've noticed that my period has been absent x2 months. neg. preg. test x3. I think that it's the diet as well.

My cycle has been all wicky wacky since I started this journey. Once the weight is lost things will be on track, but if you still have questions ask your doctor..

I notice that when I don't eat a lot of crap I don't. Get cramps, diarrhea and my flow is much lighter so yes this can change your period. Also I don't know how old you all are but 40 plus you all know what that means.
