    Hi there. Six weeks post op (sleeved) and haven’t had my period in two months. I’m very regular normally. Not sexually active. Will speak with my MD about it next visit.

    Same here. Sleeved in July. Period should have started day after surgery but it didn’t. PMS symptoms have been around since then (moodiness, cramps, headaches)... but still no period. I’m not too worr

Seems like 2 of the 3 in front of you are having it too. Weird FYI when they started Indian women on oral contraceptives they told then to start the pills on the first of the month, the Ganges River turned red from the women's monthly purification rituals. Its a documented fact!
Mine started 2 days after.

Mine came late and lasted longer than usual. The menstrual cycle is very attuned to trauma in the body and is reacting to what you just put yourself through. It'll be weird for a while, but things will go back to normal eventually.

I think this is completely normal. I have seen a lot of ladies talk about this. I had my surgery in April and I was VERY regular up until then but even up until three months out I was STILL horribly irregular. I think this has been the first month things have been normal. It's just your body freaking out is basically what my doctor said

Thanks for this post... mine started 2 days b4 surgery (8/20) and it's still going on. I'm hoping it's just the stress of the surgery and everything as this is the longest it's lasted in 10 years.

Mine came 3 days after surgery and it was kinda early ??

Based on all the posts I’ve read, there’s no rhyme or reason.

Yeah it’s just annoying to get it so early and then they have me taking these blood thinner injections ???? i wasn’t prepared for this lol but I’m making it lol
