jessmoscic 0 Posted April 14, 2013 hi everyone. i am not new to this sight ive been reading it in silence since before my surgery that was February 15th of 2013. since I surgery I've lost a total of 24 pounds and I've recently had my 3rd fill. I'm not at my green zone yet but I definitely am getting closer to it. this has been an exciting journey so far in and excited to reach my goal weight. however I do have one question for the ladies sorry gentlemen but I do need to ask this question, has this affected your menstral cycle? my surgery that was in February I've had my menstrual cycle once and I haven't had it since. my doctor told me that my body is probably going through some stress with the surgery. but I didn't know if this was common and most women. thank you hope someone can help.

DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted April 14, 2013 It did for sure. I was very irregular for the first year after surgery. I would have a period, then nothing for 8 weeks, have another period then have yet another 2 weeks later. I gave up trying to track them at all because they just came so randomly. My gynecologist said weight loss, especially rapid weight loss, can really play havoc with a woman's hormones. I went on the pill about 6 months ago and now they are very regular again.

jessmoscic 0 Posted April 14, 2013 okay thank you so much I feel a little better now that I'm not the only one out there this little issue. frustrating because I get all the symptoms I'm going to start but nothing. I guess my doctor said that there's a pill that I can take if I don't get it by the next visit that supposed to regulate my cycles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hely88 883 Posted April 14, 2013 My tom is very different now. My band is so tight around that time I have to do liquids or mushies. I also get awful pain in my back. I would suggest you keep record of when you have it and how it affects you. Also your age can also play a part. I am 46 and my GYN said its normal for them to vary more now.
