4 Womens Eyes Only...: )

Just a question..I am 6 weeks post op.. Had surgery August 8th. I got my period day of surgery. Havent had one since (so 6 weeks) I lost 40 lbs since starting pre-op. I also have Pcos but have ALWAYS had regular periods...And NO Im not pregnant. Has this happened to anyone else after surgery that You either skipped a period or it was weeks late... Im hoping its my hormones and pcos straightening itself out...

Yeah, the surgery makes your hormones go crazy. As long as you're sure you're not preggers, nothing to worry about.

I got my period 8/16 during surgery (super cute) I am on cycle with my daughters whos just went off. I have lost 31 lbs i am cranky and starving but no period to speak of here either.

I was 3 weeks late for my period because I was stressed out! Then as I got a date, I was even more stressed out because I didn't want to have my period at the hospital LOL. So yeah, surgery makes hormones go crazy especially with PCOS. I have that as well, don't worry! My periods were also "normal" majority of the time.

if this is for women only, why not post it in the ladies room? Just sayin

I have a question though since you also have PCOS, when you had the surgery and they discharged you, did they tell you to stop taking metformin and spironolactone, that is if you were even taking it to begin with.....?

I wasn't taking anything before surgery..I was on metformin before getting pregnant with my first child and stopped taking it at 12 weeks preg. I just hope my body regulates itself

Hi - I think it took me about a month, but I'd have to go back & look at my graphs. I lost at a pretty good rate right after surgery, had the usual three week stall, and now I'm losing at a rate of about 2 lbs per week, give or take. I'm pretty happy with that. I've lost 52 lbs in 4.5 months, went from a 22/24 to a 14. I feel a LOT better!
