I'm 5 weeks post op and I have yet to start my monthly cycle. It's approx 2wks late. I wonder if my body is just in shock from the lack of calories? TIA

Mine did the same.

Mine is the opposite. Has anyone's cycle been extremely heavy since the sleeve?

If theres no chance you could be pregnant than maybe talk to your gyn it may just be from the trauma of your surgery to your body. Geez I used to be a lightweight bleeder but since my sleeve its like the flood gates opened so gross. Ughh I know TMI

I got it 2 weeks early the first month. Came twice & heavy for the next 2 months. Then I missed it for 3 months. Then it returned to normal at 6 mons post op. saw GYN & was told it was due to the hormonal changes & trauma from the major procedure. Said to only be concerned if cycle last more than 10 days.

I have a Mirena IUD and don't really get a cycle anymore. Sometimes I will spot for one day a month. About 3 weeks post sleeve, I had a real period. The first in over a year. It was far more than spotting. I hope this isn't going to be my new normal.

I also have an IUD and no longer had a cycle....until I was sleeved! I've had 2 normal periods since being sleeved June 3. I hope they go away, it's the best part of having an IUD:)

Prior to WLS I had no cycle due to my IUD. After surgery, I had a regular cycle for about 5 months. Now I have light bleeding for 1/2day about every other month. It's been two years since my WLS.
