Ok I just had my surgery a couple of weeks ago and unfortunately I few days afterwards my monthly friend came back after about year and a half of not having it . My question is did this happen to you? And how long did it last? Its been well over a week for me and there seems to be no end in site.

I had surgery Monday 8/19 and by Wednesday I had started my period. I woke up this morning and it is finally gone!

The same thing happened to me. I was almost to 8 months without a period and it came back while I was in the hospital and I had it for about 2 weeks. REALLY HARD!! I did ask my doctor about this to see if it was "normal" and he said it wasn't normal but, happened quite often. Since, our hormones get messed up during this process. I am about 2 months post op now and I have had it 3 times.

NO NO NO...Say it ain't so!!! I have happily not had to deal with that for over a year now and would prefer not to go back to it!!! LOL I guess losing weight will be worth it though.

I had regular periods, and one of two things happened (sorry its been awhile). I either skipped a month or it started up early...but it has been regular again ever since, but the cycle start date changed by about 10 days.

Excess weight can have an effect on your cycle. Changing that can also effect it, but seems like right after surgery is a bit soon. ( of course given weight loss from pre op diets could be the reason) But the good news is things will be SOOOOO much easier to reach with the extra weight gone!!! LOL

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
