Hi. I was sleeved 4/25. I went into surgery with my period - and I've basically had it every day since. So for over a month I've been spotting followed by a heavier flow. My surgeon says my hormones are on over drive. Anyone experience anything similar? Anyone have any idea when I can expect my cycle to be back on track?

Got mine the day I came home from surgery, which was about a week early. Heavier and longer usual. I attributed it to the blood thinner shots they gave me.

I started the day of surgery and it lasted a whole month! They still last longer than normal even at 5 months out

Yes, I've been bleeding off and on for the 4 weeks since surgery. But, my doc also had me stop my bc pills, so my hormones are basically just all screwed up right now.

I had mine a week before surgery, then I got it again 2 days after surgery... I am now 5 days late and know for sure I am not pregnant. I also stopped my bc a month before surgery so I am sure it's all out of whack.

I have a different yet same experience .... In my 40's and last cycle was sept 2015 . 4 days after surgery my cycle started . I read some funny posts in the "50's" posts that some women through menopause also got a period or two after surgery ... So yes, hormones are affected and weight loss also is a factor ....

I was sleeved just over a year ago and my period is just now getting back to sort of normal. I have an IUD and before surgery very rarely had a period so I couldn;t really keep track...I have always had weird periods anyway..but after surgery they were VERY frequent if not constant and tended to be very heavy.....now ( I was sleeved on May 13, 2015) I get them like every month and a half....some are heavy some not and I do tend to have spotting on and off in between (dark brownish, like old blood)...just make sure you always have something with you is my advice...since every body is different you never know when you will "even out"...so just go with the flow...pun intended. lol

My gyno had never really heard of this surgery making hormones go wacko so she had me to ALL KINDS of testing...many painful to rule out stuff...would not want to do that again! I think she is fairly convinced my wacky periods are due to the surgery now...but this last year was hard in that area!

Good luck sister! Val

Love Light and Blessings xx

Ladies, don't forget that since it does mess up our hormones we tend towards super fertility...so take EXTRA precautions for at least the 1st year after surgery...tons of women get pregnant in the 1st year after bariatric surgery :)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
