A Week Late For My Period Post Surgery And Not Pregnant...suggestions?

[HumbleBeginnings 8]

My friend is always a few weeks late after surgery. I was banded last Saturday, and Aunt Flo decided that this was one party she wasn't going to miss and showed up on Wednesday.

I hope it won't end up going on for a super long time...

But your body technically doesn't NEED all these periods, so I wouldn't worry about it. It'll correct itself in its own time.

I have always been irregular but once my band was in place, I was like clock work. That was until I got pregnant. I had my band placed in June of 2011 and I'm now over 6 months pregnant. Yeah, didn't take long. I call her my Lap-Band baby, lol. After the months of research before speaking to a doctor and months waiting for surgery I did not hear anything about the band affecting hormones. It was my check up appointment when I mentioned it to my surgeon who indeed confirmed that Yes, the band can affect hormones.

Ok these comments are all helpful...one more thing I'm wondering....technically I should start a new birth control pack tonight. My obgyn said to wait til I got my period then start the new pack. But I haven't started. Should I begin the pack anyways?? I'm thinking when I reach the sugar pills in 4 weeks hopefully that will trigger it to come, if it doesn't before then.

weird i was going to start a post like this

i was banded on aug and despite a very slow weight loss ( only 20 pounds so far)

my period has been very weird ... a week or so late and alot a cramps saddly no sex

so it's not that

I have told a few of my many docs and they all say the same thing

it could be a combination of things...surgery, weight loss, meds , and you are now 47

LMAO @ Char1020. ME TOO!! I just came to post I am leaving the club. I am so pissed. I want my midol and/or ibuprofen, but I can't!!!!!!!!!

Congrats to us! At least this explains the lack of loss for the past 2 days!

I wish I had been late, I got it right on time 3 days post op:(. Though luckily the pain meds stopped the bad cramps I usually get on day one in their tracks. Only reason I took the meds that day.

Maybe its an act of god and your the new age virgin Mary. That's what I told my Dr the other day when he asked if I could be preg. But more on topic, my period has always be regular with or without the band.

Haha yeah I'm so happy, is that weird? Lol I actually took one excedrin tablet the.other day for the pain it went down fine I'm one month post op today.
