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



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
