Hi Everyone,

I was banded on May 27th and things have been going well. I am through menopause, or so I thought. I have not had a period for a year and a half. Yesterday, I had a small amount of spotting?? I wondered if this has happened to anyone else. I am going to call my family Dr. tomorrow, but just wondered if this is something that happens?

Thanks.

It happened to me also. but at the time I was not banded. I went to the Doctor and she was not concerned at all. and everything checked out ok. So don't worry but be sure and see a doctor so they can rule out anything serious.

I had gone a lot longer than that. Band went on 3/9, had fill on 4/13 on the 15th I started. I thought it would just be spotting. NOT!!! 4 days of something that hadn't happened in 6 years. There had been spots but not a full cycle. Then on the 15th of the next month I had all the side effects. Cravings and bloating and back pain. I can't wait to see what happens in the next week.

I am right there with you, basically they explained it as women store estrogen in their fat and as you lose weight the estrogen is set free upon our bodies and that causes strange menstral issues... I thougth I was done too, but alas, not so after losing 20 lbs.

Thanks everyone for answering. I figured it had something to do with weight loss and the surgery. Just when you think you are done, it's BACK. Thankfully, it only appears to be spotting for now and I hope that is the end. We shall see.
