Question for women only please

Sorry if this is TMI, but I have to ask.

I was banded 9 days ago and since around day 3 I've been having vaginal bleeding. Not alot, but enough to get on your nerves. The kicker is I'm on BCP's-the kind you take for 3 months and then have a period. I haven't missed any pills and SHOULD NOT be having a period right now.

Could this be because my body's in shock or something from the surgery? Or because I'm eating (drinking-ugh) only 500-600 calories a day?

Anyone else experience this?

Two days after surgery it was like the flood gates opened ( as if you're not in enough discomfort 2 day post op) but after reading your posts I know this is normal and it will pass!
