I was post-menopausal but had been spotting off and on for a few months prior to the VSG. After the surgery my period came back.... and it has been going now for 3 months. I took my sainted mother's advice and told my PCP who was concerned enough to order a sonogram which showed an enlarged uterus which had him send me to a gynecologist who did a biopsy and found that I have endometrial uterine cancer. I go Tuesday to the gynecological oncologist to see what is to be done. Go figure.

Omg, I can't imagine... Best of luck with everything....

I was regular prior to surgery and now the days between have varied . . . 26 days one month and 31 days the second. Also, the flow is A LOT heavier than normal for my two cycles since surgery. I think it's to be expected with all the changes our bodies are going through. I take Tylenol for cramps. Good luck!

Had surgery May 1st, 2012 and have been regular so far. PCOS symptoms seem to SLOWLY be fading away with the exception of the hair issue. Even the "buffalo hump" is disappearing!

Mine went haywire after surgery, I was having one every 2.5-3 weeks with spotting in between. My OBGYN said it would be like this for months. Noooooooo! About a month ago my sister told me about taking cinnamon and cayenne to help regulate and moderate TOM. I was skeptical but willing to try anything, so started adding 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and cayenne pepper to my morning Protein shakes. To my shock, the spotting stopped immediately. Thursday I started TOM (right on schedule for the first time in 4 months), and it's much lighter and hardly any cramps. There is a lot of info online about the natural benefits of cinnamon and cayenne, I suggest doing some research to see if it might help you.

Mine is on every 3-4 days. I've had an IUD for 4 years and since surgery it has been crazy. My nut told me it can be from surgery but check it out with gyno to be sure...

      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.
