Gastric sleeve/menstrual cycle

[LMSWNYC 119]

How soon after gastric sleeve did you notice an improvement in your menstrual cycle ? I have pcos and had gastric sleeve 6 weeks ago.

I would also be interested to know. I am pre-op but also have PCOS and wondering how long it takes to hopefully have some improvements without medication.

It made my menstrual cycle worse. I've had my period for a month now since surgery

Same here I had the mirena for two years before surgery and my cycle was almost not there other than cramps every month and since the surgery March of last year it came back and longer, my gyog said its normal for that to happen after any surgery and it works different in every women!

I have PCOS also and my cycle was always later than normal (37-40 days) if it even came and I had my cycle exactly 28 days since last cycle and it lasted 6 days. I'm 5 weeks post op.

I have had my sleeve yet.... but when i had my band... my cycles Improved at around the 2 month mark.

Went from having one period a year to completely reversing my PCOS and insulin resistance. Since then... my period comes like clockwork.

Hang in there... the stress of surgery mucks up your cycle.... it will improve when your body wants it to...

My sleeve surgery was such a shock to my system that I went into early menopause at 38 years old. I was hoping the surgery would lead to an opportunity to get pregnant and carry a child to full term, however, it seems like its not in the cards for me. I've decided to focus on the positive aspects of what the surgery has done for me and take advantage of my new healthy life.

Anyone else going to have a hysterectomy?? Im already in the stages to have it done as soon as i am healed enough...i have a family history of utern cancer...the risk is to high for cancer with pcos and not taking any chances...so hope it clears up soon and gets back to normal otherwise out it goes!! I have had my children so no need for it!

I also have PCOS and I'm now 5 months out from the Sleeve. I went from September till February without a period, which isn't totally abnormal for me. Then it came like normal in March. Nothing so far this month. My doctor recently reduced my Metformin dose since my blood sugar is better than before surgery. My endocrinologist just advised me to be patient because my body is still adjusting to everything.

Oh gosh, that terrifies me. I'm having this surgery in order to lose weight so I can have kids (married 16 years now, PCOS is evil), if I went into menopause I think I would just break.

My period seems like it's all over the place. My surgery was 2/23 & I got my period 3/1-3/18 & then it came on again on 3/30-4/4 & came on again 4/29-5/1. I have no idea what's going on.

I've been charting my cycles for a couple years or so now, and while I've always been rather irregular, I've had my own "normal" pattern I could identify. I'm very curious to see what drastic weight loss does to my cycle and when things level out to a new "normal" for me.
