I went months. It's the hormonal inbalance. I was even on the pill and continued spotting and or bleeding.

Months I tell you.

Two years out and it still happens if I loose a lot of weight or gain some.

Argh.

The same thing happened to me. It will get better. I was on mine for 6 weeks. It sucked. The doc did all the tests and everything was fine, so she said it was hormones from losing weight. It finally stopped about a week ago! I was excited for that, but I haven't lost any weight since I quit my period, wonder if people retain Water or bloat after their period...I never used to keep track.

You should see your gyno, they can switch you to the shot and that usually stops it. If it gets really bad and they want to do something surgically see if they can do what is called an oblation. It stops your period but leaves everything else intact so you don't get thrown into menopause.

Ugh, I am so with you. I was banded on 9/1. My regular cycle had literally just ended 2 days before surgery (which was relieving). I started up again on 9/6, and it was **really** heavy for a week, and spotted for another week. Finally that stopped, and then yesterday, started again. Arrrrrrrgggggggghhhh!!

I talked to my doctor, and he said that is all normal (hormones are stored in fat, and as fat breaks down, they are released back into your system and mess your cycle up), and that things will normalize in a couple months. :angry:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
