I am almost three weeks post opp.. and about 5 days late for my cycle.. is this normal?! HELP please? :help:

By no means am I a medical expert, but I had a cycle right after surgery (which according to my bc pills I was 5 days early). I started my pills again as usual and then started another cycle 5 days later. I called my OBGYN and scheduled a follow up, and I suggest you doing that as well. I hope you feel better. Good luck!

i had my band done in June and i haven't had a period since and i went to the Dr. and she told me not to worry about it so i don't know.I sure do enjoy it though

Surgery is a well-known interrupter of the cycle. Whether it's the shock to the system or what - cycles changes, periods come early, come late and sometimes skip.

Now as for not having a period since June - that sounds like a serious hormonal imbalance or possible long term disturbance in the cycle. A significant drop in caloric intake that spikes a long term disappearance of the cycle (like marathoners or Olympic athletes sometime have) is definitely something to be concerned about. I'd consult a nutritionist also.

Good Luck and Happy Band Journeys,
