My first period a few weeks post op was horrendous. Comparable to after delivering a child. I read this is normal but my question is does this last just 1-2 cycles or does it take 6 months plus to return to your pre op normal?

My periods have been more regular/predictable. I think I have less cramping now than I did before surgery/weight loss, but the blood loss is horrific. It's a lot heavier than it ever was before. I also have terrible cramping mid-cycle when I'm ovulating, which is new. I had to leave work early last week because I was worried I had appendicitis or something. I'm seeing my OB/GYN in early May to discuss an endometrial ablation or some other option to reduce the bleeding.

Im in my first period post op and I’ve had a lot more cramping/back pain than normal. Don’t know what’s up

Mine have been all over the place since surgery, but I also started birth control around the same time as surgery, so I put my body through a lot of changes at one time.

I'm dreading my first post-op period, which is due at any time. It was supposed to start the day of surgery, but....**shrugs**
My pre-op periods were never too pleasant, so I'm freaking out a little bit about the first on post-op.

My first period after surgery came on day 4-5 post op. It was two weeks early! Doc said the blood thinner shots might have caused it.
