Menstruation After Lap Band Surgery

[*~*Free2Bme*~* 2]

I was just wondering how, if any, the surgery affected your period. I am usually very regular and was banded 2 wks ago. It's time for me to start but I am 4 days late. No chance of pregnancy unless DH's vasectomy grew back.

WELL MINE WAS IRREGULAR B 4 SURGERY AND LIKE 9 DAYS STRAIGHT ,, NOW I GET MINE EVERY MONTH THE SAME TIME AND LESS DAYS !

This is pretty normal. Weight gain, weight loss and surgery are the ideal recipe for messing up our schedules. Throw in the onset of menopause and I never know when I am getting a period!

pre-surgery I had nothing for 9 months, post-surgery it was every two weeks but now I haven't had a period for two months.

I had one a week after surgery which was a week early and nothing since then. ( I was banded in late October.) Same with me for the vasectomy so I'm not worried. The surgeon said that it happens sometimes.

I was banded 9/27/11. Hadnt had a period for at least a year before that. Started my period 9/14/11, and it just stopped two days ago. Over 3 months it lasted. The weight loss, stress on your body from surgery, etc. can really mess with your hormones.

Weight loss, stress, you name it...it can take its toll.

I'm super duper regular and have had a couple major surgeries before and mine hasn't faltered...but I know plenty of women who've had this happen. No worries, sweetie!

Not to be gross, but lucky me I started mine on the DAY of my Surgery right after they wheeled me back to my room. Yeah, never mind I was already a week late it couldn't hold off any longer I guess. I am 40 so I am not surprised it is off kilter. I agree with what someone said above about weight loss and gain and how it will affect your periods. Jen
