Menstrual Cycle changing.

I had my bypass surgery 04/25/2019 4 days after surgery I had a normal cycle. Now its June 2nd no cycle, so nothing for May is this normal?

Yes it's normal for your menstrual cycles to be a little off after surgery. I have an IUD so my cycles don't come on a regular basis, usually only a light flow every 3-4 months or so. After surgery I had a heavy flow a couple weeks after and then more random cycles for a couple months after that. I'm 10 months out and now its more like it was before.

I agree with the poster above - it's very common. I've read it has to do with the fact that estrogen is stored in fat cells, and when you drop weight really fast, the estrogen is released and floods your system. Thus, many people have screwy cycles for the first few weeks or months (and some people have weird mood swings for the same reason). It'll eventually go back to normal.

Whew thank you. I took like 2 pregnancy test both negative. I Never had an abnormal cycle so I was scared like what's going on with my body. Thanks so much this information has set me and my husband mind at ease.

As your fat starts to melt in earnest a lot of stored hormones float out Years post- Menopause and I turned into an Stormin' Norma for awhile. My son says our Family's Totem Bird must be :"Duck!."
