Just a quick question... Has anyone noticed a change in their period since surgery? I keep spotting and it just won't start all the way.. This is my first one since surgery. Just wondering

Mine went from about 31 days to about 27 and I ovulate earlier in the month.

Funny you asked this....I had not had a period since June...then when I had surgery, 2 days later started my period & it lasted for 7 days!! I thought that was weird!!

I was regular all the way up to surgery which was a month ago. It's time now and I usually spot for a day then it comes but now I've been spotting for 3 and its hardly anything. So weird

Before surgery I would have one, then go months and months without a period, since surgery I have been having mine regular now, it might be a day or two off from the previous month, but it's always the last week of the month.

Before surgery I had a very irregular period. Sometimes I would go months without it and I also had bled for three months straight at one point.

Since surgery I have been completely regular.

My gyno said that it gets regular because the heavier you are the more estrogen your body stores. I too experienced the same thing and was a little worried. Hope this helps

I think it may be the stress of the surgery on your body, it should straighten out soon though.

Mine are jacked up! I had a month long one after surgery, then a couple normal-ish ones and now I'm going on 3 weeks of fun times with the all too frequent visitor...

Doc says it's the hormones being released from my fat stores and variances in periods are normal though.

      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!

      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!!
