So Im 4 weeks post-op today and I was doing great in the beginning numbers kept going down and down. Long story short when I was 3 weeks post-op last week I was at 206 and surgery day I was 226 so I was very happy that in 3 weeks I had lost 20 pounds BUT!! I got my period and I gained 3 pounds so Im at 209 again and I've had my period for 8 days non-stop like what is going on? Before surgery I was very regular and by day 4 PERIOD WAS GONE. ughhhhh Im sad that I gained 3 pounds and that I've had my period for 8 days and who knows when its gonna stop. anyways thanks for reading ladies hope someone can help me out and let me know if some of you when through this too.

While I haven't been sleeved yet, I read some other posts that your period gets all outta whack for a few months after surgery. The reason being you're losing weight, and as you lose, all of those stored up hormones in the fat are being released. Some girls reported having a period sometimes 2 weeks after just having one, with varying lengths each time. I think I read these posts under "The powder Room" in Forums.

I'm sure it's the most unpleasant thing because you are still trying to heal and adjust to everything, but hopefully it will be over soon! Yuck! I think we all hate our period!

The blood thinners can affect your period, also the hormones you are releasing.

Having surgery can do a lot to your TOM. Think of all the hormones that are stored in fat. So for it to last longer than normal happens often. Or make it come early. Or late, in my case. Plus while TOM visits, you hold water weight. It will go. Just be patient.
