How Had Surgery Effected Your Periods?

I'm curios to know how the surgery had effected your period. Mine were very heavy for 2 years after having my tubes tied. I had a uterine oblation 5days before gastric bypass. My Dr told me i would either never get it again or it would be very light. I'm now 4days post op and approaching my normal cycle time and I'm wondering if gastric bypass may cause it to come...

I'm 6 months out and to be honest the first few months were awful for me. It was heavy, lasted almost 2 weeks at a time, and even came twice a month for 2 months! And I was on the pill so that upset me even more. But I guess it was all hormonal because for the past two months it's been normal and comes when it's supposed to.

Mine was heavy and lasted 2 Weeks before the oblation. I'm not looking forward to ever seeing it again but I've read on here it's not normal after surgery kinda worried it might come back.

I was suppose to get mine the day of my surgery and didn't. I didn't get it again until a month and a half later. Seems it's coming every 4 weeks again now. Prior to it was a bit sporadic to the point where my doctor tested me for menopause.

Mine were heavy in the 2 years after my tubal ligation too....now I'm 11 months post op RNY, and it is only heavy the first 2 days, then it's light. Pre op I would go for 7-8 days, but now post op I go for 4-5 days!

my superpower is......

I always been heavy. My insurance was suppose to cover nova sure & the md was afraid because I had 3 sections & gastric bypass that it will open me. So whatever!! Wanted me on depo wtf! I'm not looking forward to getting fat. I hot nada done still dealing with heavy period even after WLS.
