Do I stop having a period now??



Recommended Posts

OK. Gross topic, I know. But I am supposed to be on my period now. And I can't even say that I am spotting. Maybe a tiny little bit, but that is it. Is this normal? :confused1: It has been a month since I got my sleeve.

Thanks,

Stacey

I'm with ya... Granted, I've been getting more irregular as I get older anyway (44) and my mom was done with everything by the time she was 48, but I was already a week late at surgery (8 days ago), expected it to start with a bang right afterward like it does for so many people, and still nothing (and NO, they did a pg test right before surgery and I'm definitely not pregnant LOL)... I'm kinda curious too!

I am 5 months out and my period has been all over the map. I spoke with my PCP about it and he said this surgery sends your hormones all out of whack for about a year. I would not worry about it.

Are you *sure* you are not preg?

My period got lighter and shorter since surgery. I actually downloaded a fertility application for my IPhone so I could chart because it was driving me crazy. My cycle went from all over the place, to every 30-33 days now. I have 1 day of spotting, one heavier day, then one super light to spotty day, and it's over.

It's all hormonal. Mine didn't regulate out until the 3rd month out, and now it's more regular and I can actually tell right before.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
