Any Ladies Have Lighter Menstrul Cycles After Vsg?

I am one mont post op and had my period when I had surgery. I started again a few days ago but it is very light--so light that I don't know what day to call day one, but have been spotting for 3 days. I have read that most have heavier periods after VSG...

Anyone have lighter?

Didn't menstrating the day of suck?

Happened to me too : )

I'm curious for the answer to this as well

Happened to me too! I'm 4 weeks out and still haven't started yet.

Happened to me as well.. I'm a few days from being a month post op, hope to start again soon. I think the surgery has messed up my cycle

My surgery was on 9/27/12 and mine is back like clock work and did not skip a beat. I started a few days after surgery, right on time, on October 4th, it was quite a bit lighter, but the next month....my gracious everything was back in full swing and back with a vengeance. I WISH mine was lighter and less crampy. I felt like the surgery made no difference in that aspect. I still get salty and sweet cravings too. This month was weird though, I was actually craving meat, even though I had plenty of protein LOL :)

Ha. Mine was heavier than its ever been on my life.

I wonder since the surgery caused me to start early that its thrown me off. Dec. 5th I'll be a exactly 30 days post op.

I started spotting on schedule after my surgery but spotted for 4 days which is unusual. I'm 3 months out now and find from 4 to 5 days to 3 to 4 days. Which is totally fine in my book!

I started the day after surgery and mine only last 3 days since surgery it was 5 before and my cramps are way better!!

I've been cramping and lower back ache.. I'm sure it will be fine :)

Be careful ladies about sex.. With major weight loss comes very high chances of pregnancy. Surgery causes u to be very fertile!! Research it.. It's true!!

I started my cycle one week post op and it was normal so we will see how it goes next month won't hurt my feelings if it doesn't come or it's light that would be a plus

I came on my period a week earlier than schedule (post vsg). It was much lighter than usual.

Been on birth control since age 16, stopped a month before surgery per my surgeons request. The only problem I have is that for the last 17 years I knew exactly when my cycle would start and end. Doc says I can go back on them now.
