:help: hi there, i was wondering if anyone else has experienced this: after my operation my period was brought on 2 weeks early and now a week later i still have it, i have never had a period last more than a total of 5 days, has anyone else had this, im a bit concerned because ive never had a period last this long,

thanks!

My period came 2 weeks early after surgery - I think it is fairly common after something so stressful/traumatic on your body. I do not remember how long it lasted but I was not too concerned. Your body has gone through a lot - if it goes much longer, perhaps call your OB/GYN - otherwise, I think it is perfectly natural.

Oh- I'm the other end of the spectrum- I'm by now 3 weeks late- Hurra!

No- no chance of being pregnant- got fixed after my last girl...

Periods can be strange after surgery. You will get normal again, but for me it was months. My first period after my surgery was two months late and lasted 3 days. The second was 5 weeks later and lasted 8 days. I have been regular for the last 3 months and I have been banded for 6. I have heard of them being early, late, long, short, etc.

Your body is going through a lot of physical changes and this is jaut a reaction to it. But don't worry!

Anytime you combine obesety and menses and weightloss you get lots of weird stuff. Mine has never been regular, I hope one day with a healthy weight it may become more normal. If you are having a heavy flow and feel weak and lethargic call your doc, you can become anemic. Otherwise, light periods can go for a while before becoming a problem. Listen to your body
