Just a quick question, I'm 4 weeks post op and should have had my time of the month but it hasn't come. Just wondering has any one else had similar experiences.

I would have been "regular" enough before surgery.

Sorry for raising an awkward topic!

Regards to all

Aunt Flo's visitation schedule gets messed up for pretty much everyone postop. She can come early, late, heavy, light, and sometimes non-existent. No worries! She'll get back on schedule by 6 months or a year postop when the weight loss slows.

I haven't had a period in years due to my IUD. I have been spotting for the past three weeks since surgery. My surgeon says it's normal with rapid weight loss and can go either way for people!

My surgeon told me it can be irregular for at least 3 months post op. If you're really worried, it's always a good idea to call your surgeon's office or your obgyn's office. Even if someone tells me everything is fine, I'd rather have an answer than be worried.

Thanks for the advice. I suppose I was regular ish up to now so it's thrown me off but I'll just add it to the list unexpected side effects from surgery.

I'll sit tight and enjoy the time I'm free of aunty flo!!

Mine came super early! The hormones are changed. It will come soon enough.

Mine have been irregular since surgery. First one was light. Second one was heavy and lasted for 9 days! Third one is so far very light.
I am not concerned as I know my body is dealing with a lot of changes.

I never ever have mine because I take my BC back to back with no gaps. Was sleeved on the 23rd and it sort of started on the 22nd and definitely did the night after surgery. I still have it and I'm taking my pills. I also have tons of mouth ulcers related to my autoimmune disease. I think my body is just totally thrown off and pissed at me.
