Female question...



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 months post op and 2 days late on my monthly visitor. Had my tubes tied in 2006. I'm wondering if the weight loss and hormone changes could cause a missed/late menstrual cycle.

Absolutely hormones can cause so many changes in the body. After any surgery a woman's hormones go wack! A couple days late is normal. I've heard of some starting early as well. Surgery sent me into full blown peri-menopause and I went from being able to set a clock to my cycle to only have two periods this year.

If it continues to hold off you can certainly call your doctors office and get reassurance.

take care

Remember that fat cells contain estrogen. When we start using them up, the estrogen is released into the body. Who knows what kind of crap that can cause. Our doc says suddenly people who were not trying became pregnant after being sleeved.

Oh yes, at one point, I thought I was going mentally and emotionally crazy. lol Since the surgery, my cycles have been on time, which was never the case before.

Yup, I went from everything fine and normal my whole life to not having a period for 4 months.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
