My surgeon said VSG can disrupt the menstrual cycle ..... I've head women on YouTube report that they missed their period for several months after getting VSG (not immediately after but a few months out and then bam no period for several months)

Makes me nervous a bit

Mine came today at our family function 3 days early.... Merry Christmas to me LOL. I didn't skip this month but wondered if I might. Sleeved 12/16 and down 20.8 lbs. hopefully you'll start soon.

It happened to me also it's a combination of body trauma, and there's a lot of estrogen in fat so the fat is dissipating and the body is adjusting to hormone levels.

Sorry I miss typed...I am not three months out, I'm three weeks out. My period is almost a week late.

This sounds plausible. I'm going to do more research.

I had very light periods the first 3-4 months, but then I didn't have one at all until 11 months out. I had never skipped a period in my life prior to this, so it was bizarre to me. I went 7 months without one. Finally got one this month now that I am in maintenance. Our bodes are freaking out during the weight loss phase. At least mine was!

I have not seen mine at all. Because of my age I didn't worry.

But I'll be following up with my physician.

I'm four months out and no period since the surgery. It is unsettling.

I just got on the forum to see if I could find out anything about periods and stumbled on this post. I was sleeved on 10/23, and I'm down 50 pounds :-). I'm also in ketosis, but I'm having the opposite problem with my period. I've had three periods in the last month and a half. Any input would be great because I've always had normal monthly periods. It's frustrating because I'm breaking out with pimples on my neck and back, and it stalls my weight loss. Thanks for your help!

I have no advice, but can tell you that you are not alone. I've been on the pill for years with very regular periods. Since surgery 5 months ago, I've had my 7 times and twice lasting way too long (10 and 12 days). It has been getting better the further out I get. Since everything else is fine, I just planed to ask the dr at my 6 month in a few weeks.

Just got my 1st cycle post vsg (jan 12 is my 1 month surgiversary!!)

Cramps are not horrible as they were pre vsg -- managing pain pretty well with e.s. Tylenol (can't use Advil per my surgeon post vsg) .. Flow is lighter than normal which is very unusual -- I usually soak through ultra tampons and overnight extra protection pads within a couple hours for the first few days

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
