Soooo I'm like 5 weeks post op from a sleeve but for the past two weeks I started cycle but has yet to end .... now I haven't had a cycle for years now (I have the iud) but since surgery I got my cycle and hasn't stop... I feel fine and it just like a light to medium flow like a normal one but it just hasn't completely stop. I wonder has any of these happen to any one or should I be concerned?

I am also 5 weeks out and just got my period again since the one a week after surgery. I AM ANNOYED. I also have an IUD. Luckily it is no where near as horrible as it was before the IUD....I had serious problems with cramps and always having a heavy flow. I think you better call your OBGYN and see what they have to say. That's no fun at all.

That's very common. I read somewhere that hormones get trapped in fat and as you lost the fat, the hormones get released. My cycle is all messed up. Some times I get it every other week, every two weeks, 1x a month, for 10 days, for 15 days etc.... it's all over the place. I'm on the nuva ring and am supposed to be able to stop my cycle at will, but that idea has gone out the window! On the bright side this means your losing fat. Yay, go you!

I've had a period every couple of weeks since having my surgery in May. It's aggravating! Hoping it balances out eventually!

I guess this is now happening to me. I was sleeved June 12. I hadn't had a period in 5 years bc of depo and I've had an iud for 3 years. A week after surgery, I started spotting and now I'm having a full blown cycle. It is frustrating. I was worried something was wrong.

Annoyed at my gynecologist now. I called the office yesterday and the nurse said she'd have the doctor call me and she never did. Probably should just ride it out and pray I stabilize soon! 2.5 weeks now on my period!

I am the opposite for now. I got my period a week early when I started pre-op diet which was fantastic as I should have had my period during surgery which was on June 17th. NOW I was hoping my period would come back before I go away and there's no sign of it coming. No pms no cramps (which were horrible) NOTHING. I wasn't on any type of birth control as I wasn't active soooooo I don't know what's going on. I am thrilled of course but hope it doesn't make an appearance when I go to Florida.

Had my surgery on 4/27 and had my period during preop diet. I am not on BC but my bf is fixed. Well...no period for 3 months! But, just started again yesterday on my flight back from Bahamas. My periods before we're always very heavy and lasted 7-10 days. This one seems lighter....hoping shorter too!!

Wow three months! I hope it stays away that long for me. Yes mines was also very heavy and lasted 5-7 days along with at least 3 days of horrible cramps. This remindes me of when I gave birth..... my aunt fliw was away for about 3 months and I was in heaven.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
