Hi Everyone,

I am looking for reassurance! I am 59 years old and had my gastric sleeve 2 years ago about three months after the surgery my body felt like it was going to start a period! Although I had been postmenopausal for several years. Low and behold I did have spotting right after that! Several times in the past couple of years I have done the same thing snd spotted. I had a vaginal ultrasound last week and there was some slight thickening in my endometrial lining tomorrow I am slated for a biopsy I am trying so hard not to worry as I think this is all hormonal related due to my surgery. I have lost 90 lbs, reached my goal and am keeping it off. No regain thus far. Has anyone else that was postmenopausal have an experience like this? I am just looking for somebody to help me calm my nerves

Thank you to anyone who responds have a beautiful day!

Yes, I did have an experience like yours, long before I had surgery. I was spotting, and a biopsy and ultrasound. I had endometrial hyperplasia. They ended up scraping out thickened lining, and I have been fine since. Im 57 and went through menopause at 47. No sign of cancer. Hopefully all will go well for you. I know it is hard not to worry.

Right after surgery, within a week, blood streaky mucus for 4-5,days, nothing since, figured combo of Lovenox and hormones released. Called my Gyn, The non- Fung Shei nut,told Me. if it happens again in a month , come see me otherwise just a freak happening. Before I went to see him I had been told by 2 internal medicine dudes I needed an hysterectomy to cure my cystocele and rectocele, so I went to offer my uterus to Medical Science,dude laughed at ME, said unless I set,up shop outside an army camp I wouldn't get enough wear and tear in my 70s to justify it, and like I said , his office furniture is set up wrong too. When my,PCP asked if I had consulted Dr Prior, I said Yes and related the sad tale, Told PCP., if I want a Pap Test you can handle it, not seeing HIm until. my uterus falls out the opening after being an object of ridicule! Remember I am Red-geaded and still retain a Temper!

I have had a hysterectomy but my PA told me that the fat stores hormones and as you lose it secretes them. Could possibly be the cause?

Thinking good thoughts for you!
