My first one was "old" blood too but they do go back to "normal" after a few months

But have you skipped any periods?

But have you skipped any periods?

I have not skipped any but had several months of very light ones or starting and stopping...

But you have had a significant drop in weight fast so it might affect it more... It might be worth talking to the doctor about though.

My first period after surgery came very late. My second period didn't come until I'd missed almost three cycles! It took me over six months before things started normalizing. I think it's fairly common because your hormones are all over the place during weight loss.

I think the fat that your losing has lots of stored hormones that are now being released into your system. Those hormones are now messing up your periods, moods, etc. Having a major surgery alone is stress enough on a body. Then having extra hormones released from the fat loss is causing chaos on your body. I'm not a medical professional, but I would think a irregular periods would be normal for a few months, but if you are really concerned, maybe a doctors visit is needed.

I've read that excessive weight loss/gain will have an effect on the menstruation cycle and especially on your mood. WebMD has an article about this.

I had a normal one. The day after my surgery. Ugh!

My surgery was 1/28/2013 and I have only had a light period about 12 days after and none since. I even took a pregnancy test at the last doctor visit. He said pretty normal after the procedure.

I got sleeved on 3/19. my first period was weird i got it in April. I was almost 2 weeks late until i got my period yesterday. Our body is still going through alot of changes. Try to contact your gyn. Good Luck!

Yes finally my friend came to visit unfortunately it was extremely heavy ughhhh

I haven't had any real problems this time, but when I lost a large amount of weight before, I had about 18 months of very few/irregular periods. They say that when your body is losing a significant amount of weight, it impacts your hormones, which in turn, impacts your periods. I once heard that your body is in "self-protection" mode when you are losing large amounts of weight quickly, and it knows that it is not a safe time to get pregnant. Who knows - but I do know that your hormones are all wacky at the moment, which is bound to create changes.

Thanks so much for asking this! My period started a few days after surgery, and it was thick, black blood (more like blobs). I think some of that comes from being a little dehydrated, but I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that experienced this!!
