Period changes?

So I am a month post op and im supposed to get my period any minute now. I'm not having my normal pre period happenings though and don't feel it coming on. Did any of you have changes to your cycle following surgery? I am definately NOT pregnant.

  • My PCP said when you lose weight the estrogen stored in the fat cells is released and can cause heavier periods. On the other hand, the stress of the surgery could throw you off for the first month.

After surgery we are supposed to have a huge release of hormones through our body that definitely affects these things so you may notice some difference. I definitely did. I hadn't had a period for six months prior to surgery - starting into menopause and within a month of surgery there is was again. I was not thrilled.

I was normal my first period after surgery (12 days after) but my jan period I started to spot then nothing, so we'll see how this one goes in around the 17th.

My period came the month after surgery. It was very, very heavy. Ugh! Hope the next one isn't!

My PCP said when you lose weight the estrogen stored in the fat cells is released and can cause heavier periods. On the other hand, the stress of the surgery could throw you off for the first month.

I got my period the day after surgery then I skipped a month and got it almost 4 weeks late.

I was on day 5 of my period the day of my surgery... that usually wouldve been my last day...my period lasted an additional 10 days IIRC...

then instead of my normal 28-29 day cycle...Ive had a 21-13 day cycle ever since....

Even my period cycle is disturbed after surgery......I m 4 1/2 months out,everything is going fine....just sometimes I make myself vomit as I eat beyond the border........but my periods don't last long n it is very light too...should I be worried?
