Sorry if this is TMI, but I'm sharing incase someone else is going through the same thing. I had my surgery 11/26/13 and got my period 11/30. It was heavier and longer than usual. I talked to my bariatric nurse and Dr., they both said the same thing, it's normal. Well fast forward 8 months, I continued to bleed off and on. We tried switching my birth control 4 different times.They assured me that it was normal because of the rapid weight loss. I called my ob/gynecology just to get her input cuz, I was so tired of it. She wanted to do an internal ultrasound just to check things out. Turns out that due to my hormone levels changing so much with the weight loss, it spiked my estrogen causing 2 grape size polyp's on my cervix. Finally after 8 months of bleeding I had an answer that had I solution! She said that she has seen this in a lot of her WLS patients. I will have them removed on the 8/4 and should finally have a normal period again!

That's.scares me because I have had 2 periods this month....its not tmi....we have to help eachother ans share stories lol

Thanks for sharing. I found the pill is doing nothing for me - what's the point when one continues to bleed. So, I stopped it and get a regular period, but I do need to get back on track. Need to get that gyn appointment in. Thanks for sharing!! I hope I can get this figured out in less than 8 months. It's nice to not be alone w/ the body issues. My doc and PA never mentioned this.

I would contact your gyn , the other Dr never heard of it she told me. Good luck, I hope you figure it out.
