Hi folks - I know about fat loss triggering higher estrogen levels, but I am now 20 days post-op and I have been on my period for 19 of those days, starting day 2 of post-op. Has this happened to anyone else?

not to me personally (I was post-menopausal when I had my surgery, but I've heard this before. It's not uncommon.

I'm glad to hear that it's been heard of before. I am confused about it because I didn't have PCOS (at least nobody ever diagnosed me with it!) and I've never really had problem periods but it is definitely making me miserable.

it's just the hormone dump people talk about. They'll be out of whack for awhile but will eventually normalize again.

I started my period two days after surgery. It's been over a week and I'm only spotting right now. My periods are normally 7-10 days long (including spotting at the beginning and the end) so if it goes on after Christmas then I know it's out of whack.

My period started 2 days after surgery and it was 2 weeks early. I had another period 2 weeks after that. My periods are back to normal 3 months post op. Hang in there. You're system is temporarily out of whack.
