So I am a month out and still no AF You girls know what I am talking about,is this normal after surgery not to get your period ? I also I will be getting birth control soon,which one you are on? ( if you are) and which one do you recommend ? TIA and Happy new year beautiful people

I'm curious about this, too. I'm not on a birth control, though I used to be. Need to try to find one that doesn't make me ill. I got my period the day I got home from the hospital, and it was several days early. I assumed it was stress-related because I had a not so great stay. But, I haven't gotten it again since then and it's been 5 weeks. It'd be interesting to see if you get any answers!

I'm on Seasonique and I love it! Periods only 4 times a year! My doc let me stay on it in the lead-up to surgery, and my period came normally the time it was supposed to come, but it was actually MUCH heavier than usual. I have very light ones on the Seasonique. I'd highly recommend it if you have a choice and don't mind getting more seldom periods (some people don't want it because they'd worry that they actually are pregnant - lol!)

I don't have to worry about birth control, I have had a hysterectomy years ago. BUT, I do warn you your hormone levels are not going to be the same while you are rapidly losing weight. Fat cells store estrogren, and when they release the estrogen into your bloodstream, wierd hormonal stuff can happen. It made me have a couple of crazy puberty-like months.

So I would recommend getting on birth control and making sure you are consistent and diligent in following the requirements to ensure you don't get pregnant unexepectedly.

Good Luck!

I had a Mirena IUD for 3 years and I liked it, I had no periods. Right now I am using the Nuva ring-- so far so good!

I was sleeved in oct of this year and I just had mirena put in yesterday... I was worried about the effectiveness of the pill in such a small tummy...and I don't want any babies right now. LOL

Nuva ring for me. I am not very compliant with taking my pill everyday. My NP said that the ring was a great choice due to having WLS. I have used it in the past and no problems with it at all.

I can hardly wait to get my Mirena back!!! Not, the I'm worried about getting prego.. You need a man for that right??!! LOL..

I am on the YAZ with only 4 days off - I love it! No mood swings, no weight gain, super light periods.

Be careful with Yaz. A friend of mine had her gallbladder removed due to YAZ side effects. I used to use, I loved it too, clear skin, panty liner periods. The risks of that pill are too high for me.

I haven't had any issues, and my doc and her daughter are both still on it! Apparently its hard to regulate birth control tests in the US.
