Just wondering if you post-op ladies have had any issues with your mentrual cycle after your surgery? I know the body takes a moment to figure out what is going on. Just wondering about your experiences.

Thanks!

Oh yeah. I was 2 weeks late. Freaked for a minute.. lol. But every woman I have seen has either started that day or the next, or was late. Your body had trauma so it tries to react the best it can. Plus with all the hormones being she from the fat so fast (pre op diet) it get's confused. Good luck. Welcome to the loser's bench :)

I actually went two months without having one after my surgery. Then, things returned to normal. Our bodies all react differently to the changes going on as a result of the surgery.

I had surgery 4/24. Since surgery I feel like I have a mini-period every 2 to 3 weeks. I'm on birth control but guess my body still needs to adjust!

I have had heavy one day periods. It's been strange because I've had an iud for 4 years. I havent had a full period in two years. Body had trauma and surgery is that. I'm almost two weeks out.

I started mine (not on time) one day post op- sinc then it's been 28 days away from that day- super steady- and on time.

I'm always surprised when I comes on time - and is super light- and three day :)

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
