Hey everyone. Im super late for my period (im celibate, been for 18 months, deathly afraid of getting prego and a disease, im divorced)

Sleeved 11/19 down 22lbs from 212 to 190. Should have had it the tenth. Any other ladies with this issue?

Hey Sel! First, congrats on the awesome weight loss. I am sure you look fab! I'm down 19, but have 10 to go to "onederland". Can't wait to be where you are!

Anyway, I had the opposite problem - I got mine only 18 days after it came the first time that month. I've heard that the hormones are totally wacky after getting sleeved, so I am sure that has something to do with it. Maybe someone else can chime in on the lateness thing, but I am sure it's the hormones.

Yes,she is absolutely right. Our Hormone are in crazzzzzy mode right now so it is normal for there to be fluctuation in menses, That being said, good thing you are refraining from sex or at least using birth control because fertility shoots out of the roof after surgery :)

I had that same issue too. I was nearly 6 weeks out and no sign of my period. My surgeon told me to take a pregnancy test and if it was negative I could start my bc pills again. I didn't get my period until the end of that month at 9 weeks out! Without the pills I'm not sure when it would've come.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
