What the heck? !?!

I was sleeved on Aug 17 th.

I just got my period again for the second time since then!

Plus I had a 3rd period the week before.

That makes 3 periods since Aug 4th.

Ugh!

(I am 52 yo and really don't need them anymore lol)

Anyone else now get frequent periods?

Strange menstruations can happen during drastic diet changes, but three periods in a month? That is something you definitely need to take up with your gyno, as this may be a result of other problems and not your surgery. Please get it checked asap!

I had my period two weeks before surgery as expected and have now had it since three days after surgery. It is heavy and nonstop. I am on bcp so it should be more regular. My surgery was almost two weeks ago. The only thing I can attribute it to is the blood thinners, but I stopped taking those a week ago. Now I'm due for it next week so I'm looking at a month long period!

Sounds pretty normal... i had mine just before the sleeve and again a week after. Same thing with my gall bladder surgery. 2 periods in 4 weeks. ????

I would see your OB/GYN just in case. This happened to me too, but I have an IUD so they were worried something was wrong in that department. Turns out everything was okay and apparently it was just the stress of recovering from surgery. But better safe that sorry - it'd be awful to write off symptoms thinking they're due to the surgery when really they're a symptom of something else. I would get checked out just to be on the safe side, but I'm sure it's fine

Had my surgery on Aug31, I was at the end of a long 10 day period. Well, I had another that started Sept 10, and today, I am still flowing pretty strong. I spoke to my surgeon and nurse, both say this is a normal hormonal function that can occur. Prior to my surgery, I always had irregular periods. I missed months at a time, so perhaps my body is playing catch up.
