Periods after gastric sleeve



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone

Just wanted to ask a quick question as I haven't been able to find anything online.

I was sleeved on the 8th of February and after 7 months of no period from being on the pill, it finally arrived on the 1st of March.

It's now the 28th of April and I'm still on, that's nearly 8 weeks of period (54 days exactly)

My doctor wants to see me to get me checked out but I was just wondering if anyone else had been on for this long, and when did it finally end?!

Mine seem to be such a tease! They get lighter and lighter and I'll even have nothing for a day then suddenly they'll be heavy again! It's really frustrating as it's making me crave bad foods more than usual. I hope I don't become anemic after all this blood loss

Thanks ladies xxx

Oooh hon, that’s a long time to be bleeding! You should go get checked up on. I was regular before surgery and regular after surgery. I would say early post op some might have some issues in the way of recovery, of which you could be in, BUT that is entirely too long. Please do get a check up.

If I don’t take my birth control around the same time every day, I will bleed.. like clockwork... it has been terrible after surgery. My surgeon said it would regulate itself once I’m in maintenance phase 🙄 went to my “lady” doctor and she told me the same thing.. so I’ve been taking my birth control between 6-8a every single day to help.

I have an IUD and didn’t have a period for seven months leading up to my surgery and then when I was on a liquid diet, the flood gates opened and I had it for almost three/four weeks. My body has now regulated and I am back to normal. But to be honest, I think your body is just going through so much change that it does not know what is going on. I would get it checked out but my body did eventually go back to normal.

Thank you, yeah I think I should when I get back home, it's ridiculous! If only there was a magic pill that just stopped it in its tracks lol

Do you know what, I used to take it at the same time every day until I had surgery, then I chose to just take it with my Vitamins when I woke up, but I don't work so I get up at different times. I'm going to set my alarm again and take my pill separately and see what happens, thank you!

That sounds just like me haha I'm glad your back to normal and yeah I was told my body is probably in shock! Did you see the doctor about it or just let nature run its course?

I have the opposite - no period for two months. I'm dreading its return though!

I'm on the pill too and I still got it monthly but missed 2 days because of the hospital/homecoming etc. I got mine like 4/19 and it's still kinda hanging around too, just spotting but still! I went ON the pill to get rid of this crap!

I had a similar thing happened on the IUD I was bleeding for a month after 3 years. They removed it got me on a different hormone to stop it literally within two days it stopped. This was all because I have major ovarian cysts

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
