I had RNY about three months ago. Normally I am on the BC pill continuously, which means I never get a period. However, I started my period, despite being on the pill, and I'm now on day 13. Holy hell. I've never had this happen. I've called my RNY doc who said to go to my ob-gyn. Ob-gyn booked me for my annual exam -- in January! I know irregular menstrual cycles are normal after losing a fair amount of weight, but I'd love to hear from others who have had to deal with crazy long periods after losing a lot of weight after RNY.

I would ask your OB-GYN about being on the pill versus another form of birth control. Part of the issue may be the inability to absorb correctly. I'm no expert by any means but I was told by my surgeon that I can't take pill contraceptives. Just something to look into....

I receive the depo provera injection and am five months post op, thank god still no periods!!
