I has not had a period in years since I have no ovaries. However I for one after the surgery and it was almost two weeks. Even when I did get my period it only ever lasted for 3-4 days. I know it has everything to do with the hormones that are being released and bombarding our body.

I started mine after surgery (great!) but it stopped in a normal time frame, however a month later it's raging!!! I'm going with the hormones being released from fat and pray it doesn't stick round for as long as yours has... I feel for ya!!!

I had a little bit of a period. But I was bleeding for a long time before my procedure. Now, I have no bleeding and I'm totally happy. I only bleed for like 3 weeks. :)

I am on Depo too and I hadn't had a period in almost 4 years at the time of my surgery.

I missed a hot before surgery, due to risk of clots so I had a three month break in between.

I had spotting non-stop from two weeks after surgery until A few weeks ago when I got my new shot. It finally slowed down and then stopped.

The spotting was more like a period though, I couldn't use a tampon but had to have a think/medium pad on at all times.

My GYN said the next shot stopped it because it redistributed the hormone to my system. But almost 4 months of spotting.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
