I have implanon birth control implant in my arm, I haven't had a pd in about 2 yrs. I was sleeved a week ago and have lost 21 lbs but when I got up this morning I was spotting. I haven't seen Aunt Flo in so long it freaked me out. Is this just bc of the rapid weight loss and hormone changes or should I call my obgyn?

I've heard of people not getting their period after having WLS, so if I were you I would call your surgeon first and see what they say. I've had a full hysterectomy so I can't tell you from my experience.

Estrogen is stored in fat, maybe after the 21 pound weight loss it has thrown off your hormones. I would call your dr just in case.

I am on birth control and got my period a week after surgery. I was told that your body is going thru so many changes that it can be normal. I had it for a week. If it would have been longer I was going to call my gynecologist.

My periods have been all over the place post-op. I had my first one immediately following surgery, even though I'd had one two weeks before. I've had them be super light, super heavy, and even last for two weeks! Even a few months out, it's still messing with my normally regularly scheduled occurrence. My gut says it's the WLS, but it never hurts to talk to a doctor anyway.

Mine started recovery so I know how you feel I was told that is very normal due to all the hormone changes our body is experiences. Only stay for a day or 2 and then came back 2 weeks later and stayed for 16 days. The good thing is it hasn't come back since and I'm 4 months post op. I gyn said this was very normal for nexplanon patients......

With the birth control that I'm on I don't get my period. I didn't have it since 2010 ... Then on 1/15 I was sleeved & when I woke up from surgery the CNA & Nurse were cleaning me up asking me if I had my period before surgery .. I said no.. They told me I had it... I was so pissed lol

Hopefully your experience will be similar to mine minus the 16 day flow.... My doctor seem to be very happy with my results and said that I probably will not have a period again until i take the nexplanon out. I do however think that it is slowing down my weight loss I feel like I have to work harder at it, but I'm okay with that.

Hormones and anesthesia can really mess with a woman's body. I have implanon too. Nothing for almost six months. Then the day I got home I got a visit from her too. She so does not play fair.

No she does not. Lol!

for years I would not get a period took me sometime to figure her out but what i came up with as long as i stayed over 250lb she would not visit but the moment i got under that number here she comes as if someone called her up imagine how pist i was when i figured her out but just to be on the safe side and everweek they r coming up with new side effects and problem call your doc make appt and just c and keep a eye on it and ask is your birth control still being effective because imagine my surprise that soon after i found out i was preg and needed someone to explain to me the nature laws again
