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.

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?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
