    I have pcos, my period was absent for 8 straight months prior to my surgery date. After surgery I am now every 28 days. Which is something I have never experienced until after surgery.

Honestly my periods been very irregular since surgery. I was sleeved three months ago and only had my periods once. I think it's big change for body and the extreme weight loss affects the hormones. Other then that only bad thing is about two weeks before my periods my weight loss was minimal but soon as I got them all the water retention was gone and start dropping weight fast.

I have PCOS so my periods have always been screwy. Before surgery, it had been years since I had an actual, normal period. Within two months after surgery, I got it finally but it was so crampy and painful, and then the next month I got the worst one of my life, and now I haven't had one in a couple months. Who even knows what's going on with my body right now? XD My doctor thinks it will eventually even out. We shall see. :)

I was warned before surgery that my periods might become much more frequent but I've found the opposite to be true - I haven't had a period since October. I still seem to get PMS though. I had my hormones checked and had an ultrasound and everything looks normal. My doc said it should go back to normal after my body adjusts to the massive weight loss.

Funnily enough, I got my period unexpectedly last night and have bad cramps today. Huzzah! -_-

Yes, I was very normal up until surgery then I started having a period every 14 days. I went in for a Hysteroscopy and ever since seem to be back on track. Definitely change in your hormones can mess you up.

I have PCOS and used to cycle maybe 2 or 3 times a year unless on bc. Then in 2012 it stopped for two years almost to the day. In 2014 I started working out with a trainer and my periods came back almost exactly 28 days apart for the first time in my life! I got my period days after surgery, right on schedule and they have been within a day or two since. I'm only 2 months post-op, but I am on my third period and they seem to be staying on track. I was a little worried about them going haywire again, but so far so good.
