yes. In fact I was on depro and have not had a period for 2 years from it. I started one right after surgery for 8 days.

Ok, I can top y'all :P

I'm 55 and have been looking forward to menopause for almost thirty years. Over the last year I actually stopped my TOM and thought I was to enter into the never-have-another-period-again stage in life. BUT OOOOOH NOOOOO.. That wasn't to be for me! I'm three months post-op and guess whose had three periods. Go figure!

:D

I would suggest you may want to call your gynecologist. I stopped my periods for a year and then started bleeding again and so they wanted to do a uterine biopsy. at our age they want to just make sure the bleeding isn't some other cause.

actually I'm a month out as of yesterday and when I went to the hospital for my surgery, i started my period. before then, my period was a bit funky, just spotting and not regular, but low and behold, my period showed up Monday right on time and unusually heavy. so i think the only thing is probably that it's heavier than usual for me. it showed up on time surprisingly. made me gain a kg too ㅠㅠ

Well it came today and let me tell you all it is kicking my sleeved butt!! I feel bloated and gross and for the first time I want to eat all the time and want sweet and crunchy!! It is weird!! But I am holding on reminding myself it might be a kind of head hunger or something!! sugar free hot chocolate gave me a sweet treat!

I have stayed the same weight for the past three days!! Which in my opinion is ok because I didn't gain!!!

Definitely! At the time of my surgery I was 53 and for the year prior my periods had dwindled to nothing and I was certain I was almost finished. A month after surgery and I had a regular period complete with cramps and have had one every month since. I am one year post op on the 30th of this month. Due to some menopause symptoms also I have been struggling lately and have been on a long plateau. I was a slow loser from the start though so knew this would happen. My surgeon told me it was very common for the surgery to change your cycle.

I was due yesterday and was sure it was coming since I was up on the scale all week but....no sight of it. My surgery would have been right around ovulation time so I'm guessing that the trauma from that probably delayed my ovulation which will lead to a longer cycle than normal. I am normally like clockwork.

      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!!
