I should have started my period yesterday. I'm typically every 28 days on the dot and still haven't started. This would be my first period after my sleeve. Is it normal to be late the first period after??? And I'm definitely NOT preggers. What's going on :thumbup1: Please help!

Although i haven't been sleeved yet and don't know what others' experiences have been like, I'd say that if you're late it's totally normal given what your body just went through. Much like if you got it twice in 6 weeks.... Your body just went thru stress and trauma and will need to adapt. I hate being irregular too since i don't like sudden 'i'm here!' surprises...so i know it would bother me too. :lol0: But hey....if it's your current biggest problem then I'd say you're doing pretty well. :thumbup1: haha

I wish I had been warned. For some reason I didn't have issues with my Lap Band causing wacky periods post-op. My OB/GYn refuses to trust the pill though with me ven though I made it clear I had a VSG. I go Thursday for a Mirena IUD. Not real excited as I had a bad experiences with constant spotting previously with this but we shall see. I'm trying really hard to be more positive and open minded. :)

Heya :)

Glad to see that it's all normal. I went the opposite way and had a random second period two weeks through my cycle. But I had stopped taking my pill for a month as recommended by the anaesthetist because I knew that I couldn't take any mediction on op day and missing a day meant I'd be out of synch for a while.

I guess it's going to be a little while til things settle down and get back to normal. Our bodies need time to adjust. Hormones everywhere etc.

Hope it regulates itself for you soon :biggrin2: xx

Hey Carrie, Have you had this before? When I had it it was terrible! Heavy periods that lasted for 7days or more, back pain like I was having back labor. I hated it! It lasted for 4mos and I had my tubes tied. All I can say is UGH!

I was also a week late. That was weird for me. Normally when I gain weight I miss periods and when I lose a lot of weight, I get it every two weeks for a couple of months. I'm not complaining, though.

My tubes are tied too...Oh man now I'm scared! What's weird is I still had PMS (bad) super irritable. I go back to work next Monday, I hope I start this week :w00t:

I'm with you sister! My period is like clock work. I am 4 day post op, I started my period two days ago (I was about 5 days late). My period has actually been super light when it's normally heavier, so just a heads up!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
