I had my lapband surgery in June 2005 and have not had a period since.I told my Dr.and she said not to worry about it,it should start up but it has been 7 months.Does anyone have any opinions on this.

Patty you really need to see your obgyn. 7 months is a long time. Could you be going thru your changes?

That is a long time, but I have read several threads of people that had theirs stop for a while. I think the hormones get all messed up with the weight loss. I agree though you might want to see your obgyn just to make sure. Good Luck!:cool:

Sure is! You need to check on that....

Mine have always been irregular, which the ob-gyn said wasn't a problem unless you go more than 3 months. If it's longer than that, they usually give you progesterone to bring one on so the lining of the uterus doesn't build up too much. From what he said, it can cause concern because it just sits there and can eventually become precancerous. Scared me to death, so now I do the progesterone thing every 3-4 months. Gives me periods from hell, but that's better than the alternative, I guess. I would check in with your ob-gyn and see what he/she wants you to do...I do think they need to know about it.

What Emily said !!! Definitely go see a Gyn about getting progesterone to stimulate a period or you may end up having to get a D&C (been there, done that).
