I was wondering if anyone had an irregular menstrual cycle post-op. I had a cycle 4 days pre-op and 2 days post-op, and then again 12 days post-op that is still ongoing?!?! Anyone experience anything weird?

My cycle was off post-op. It's regulating out over the last couple of months. For November and December, it was super light, and I just started my January cycle, and BAM, I'm so over this already, it's heavy, I'm crampy, and exhausted.

Sorry for the TMI. My surgeon said it was perfectly normal for my cycle to be off.

yes I experienced that! I was just finished with my menses before surgery then after surgery I was menstruating again then there was spotting for almost one month. after one month and half, it is regular again, so I guess this is normal some hormonal imbalance. now at two months out, everything is perfect so don't worry.

I was the oppisite-

Because of my obisity.. I didn't have a "regular" period........ sometimes I would go 6 months without one........ I thought I was in menopause.

Then 3-4 months after surgery.. had my period and it has been like clockwork ever since!

Doc said it was my body gettting bck to "normal" and this was good....... and here I was thining I was done with it!!!:001_smile:

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
