I haven't had a period for two years. Sleeved on May 8th, 32 lbs down and suddenly I have my period. Not just spotting...full blown, had to go to the store immediately, gushing. WTF is happening???

Did this happen to anyone else?

I'm 49 so beyond child bearing days. I'm sorry for your cancer. I had a bout with cervical cancer, but it was caught in the very early stages. Had 3 babies, and I thank God for them every day.

The surgery and losing weight causes your hormones to go all out of whack. Your body is currently being flooded with estrogen among other things so I'm guessing that has something to do with the recurrence of your TOM. :wacko:

You need to see your GYN asap. Post menopausal bleeding is cause for concern to rule out possibilities such as ovarian cancer.

Not trying to alarm you but better to have it checked out.

When I first started this process I went to the OBGYN for my appointment. I hadn't taken the pill in 2 years, hoping to stop my periods. She refused to give me the pill stating that "probably" would not get pregnant at my age. Then I told her I was getting the surgery, and she started writing the prescription for the pill. I'm like what? She said, you lose a ton of weight then pop out an egg, get pregnant and come up here and shoot me... you are getting the pill!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
