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 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.

AND also have PCOS. so I feel you. But I have been feeling "moody" and have major cravings this week, soooooo, MIT be pms? 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!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
