10 DAYS LATE ON PERIOD - is this normal after surgery?

[JessMichelle83 0]

Hi there Lady Bandsters... I was wondering if any of you ladies have experienced something similar to this. I had my surgery on May 20th 2010 - and had a completely normal cycle a week after surgery. However I was scheduled to start again on June 26th and ....NOTHING! I've heard a lack of nutrition can cause this, but I've been pretty good about my Vitamins and Protein etc... Is this fairly common or do I need to go grab a variety of EPTS?

HELP!

Hey there -

I was banded on 5/19. My period after surgery was 3 weeks late! I've read on other forums that this is common in the beginning. My guess is that our bodies have been going thru shock from extreme dieting (liquids) and surgery.

How long after you are banded can you start having sex again? I was banded on 6/25 and failled to ask the dr when I when back for my checkup. Lost 13 pds and feeling kind of friskey!! LOL

hmmmm.... well.. I was due the day before surgery and it never came. It came about 2 weeks after surgery and now has been coming every 3 or 4 days for about a half hour.... My body is VERY confused... I'll watch and see what others say too, because this has become quite inconvenient! Good luck

Thanks gals for the advice... As far as the waiting period to have have sex... the general rule of thumb is 3 to 4 days but I was actually only ONE day post op - we were very careful, and he did all the work but still.. haha just listen to your body, and be careful not to hurt yourself

It could be stress, but if it hasn't started yet, I would take a pregnancy test just to be on the safe side...

The same thing happened to me and I feaked out and bought a pregnancy test........it was false! I have heard that any major surgery is likely to cause our cycle to change.
