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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
