Hello! Wanted to receive some shared experiences from menstruating women. Have your cycles changed at all since surgery?

I'm one month out & Mother Nature is on her 2nd day (or 3rd day) and the 1st day it was a bit of spotting here & there with some slight cramping (I've never had menstrual cramps the entire 18 years I've been menstruating) I'm not sure if that counts or was a warning that it was coming. Yesterday & today it's still very very light did anyone else experience this? I have an iud so my cycles are usually heavy so I'm a bit surprised & confused as to what's going on. Yes, I understand that my body just experienced a dramatic change but wanted to see if anyone else experienced this as well

6 months post op and i have my period about every 2 weeks since surgery date. My periods are longer than 7 days, usually 9-15. My gyn and surgeon informed me this was normal post op and should regulate once my weight stabilizes. I plan to lose more weight within the next 6 months therefore I dont see this issues disappearing just yet. I do have pcos and feel like the surgery has improved my symptoms as I was not having a regular period before surgery. It was very sparatic prior to vgs. I am hopeful it will regulate once I lose more weight and am at a maintenance phase. Hope this feedback helps.
