I should have started my period yesterday. I'm typically every 28 days on the dot and still haven't started. This would be my first period after my sleeve. Is it normal to be late the first period after??? And I'm definitely NOT preggers. What's going on :thumbup1: Please help!

Totally normal, and don't be alarmed if your cycle is wacked out for a couple of months post-op.

Although i haven't been sleeved yet and don't know what others' experiences have been like, I'd say that if you're late it's totally normal given what your body just went through. Much like if you got it twice in 6 weeks.... Your body just went thru stress and trauma and will need to adapt. I hate being irregular too since i don't like sudden 'i'm here!' surprises...so i know it would bother me too. :lol0: But hey....if it's your current biggest problem then I'd say you're doing pretty well. :thumbup1: haha

Hi, I'm with Tiff totally normal it may months before it straightens out.

O wow! Thanks for the 411, I guess it's OK I just hate being caught off guard :biggrin2: . Thanks again .

I wish I had been warned. For some reason I didn't have issues with my Lap Band causing wacky periods post-op. My OB/GYn refuses to trust the pill though with me ven though I made it clear I had a VSG. I go Thursday for a Mirena IUD. Not real excited as I had a bad experiences with constant spotting previously with this but we shall see. I'm trying really hard to be more positive and open minded.

Heya

Glad to see that it's all normal. I went the opposite way and had a random second period two weeks through my cycle. But I had stopped taking my pill for a month as recommended by the anaesthetist because I knew that I couldn't take any mediction on op day and missing a day meant I'd be out of synch for a while.

I guess it's going to be a little while til things settle down and get back to normal. Our bodies need time to adjust. Hormones everywhere etc.

Hope it regulates itself for you soon :biggrin2: xx

Hey Carrie, Have you had this before? When I had it it was terrible! Heavy periods that lasted for 7days or more, back pain like I was having back labor. I hated it! It lasted for 4mos and I had my tubes tied. All I can say is UGH!

I was also a week late. That was weird for me. Normally when I gain weight I miss periods and when I lose a lot of weight, I get it every two weeks for a couple of months. I'm not complaining, though.

My tubes are tied too...Oh man now I'm scared! What's weird is I still had PMS (bad) super irritable. I go back to work next Monday, I hope I start this week :w00t:

I'm with you sister! My period is like clock work. I am 4 day post op, I started my period two days ago (I was about 5 days late). My period has actually been super light when it's normally heavier, so just a heads up!

Hey mine was a little late too -- and the weird thing was, despite a lot of posts saying theirs were heavy, mine was super light. I figure my body is adjusting . . .
