Just wondering if you post-op ladies have had any issues with your mentrual cycle after your surgery? I know the body takes a moment to figure out what is going on. Just wondering about your experiences.

Thanks!

Oh yeah. I was 2 weeks late. Freaked for a minute.. lol. But every woman I have seen has either started that day or the next, or was late. Your body had trauma so it tries to react the best it can. Plus with all the hormones being she from the fat so fast (pre op diet) it get's confused. Good luck. Welcome to the loser's bench :)

I actually went two months without having one after my surgery. Then, things returned to normal. Our bodies all react differently to the changes going on as a result of the surgery.

I had surgery 4/24. Since surgery I feel like I have a mini-period every 2 to 3 weeks. I'm on birth control but guess my body still needs to adjust!

I have had heavy one day periods. It's been strange because I've had an iud for 4 years. I havent had a full period in two years. Body had trauma and surgery is that. I'm almost two weeks out.

I started mine (not on time) one day post op- sinc then it's been 28 days away from that day- super steady- and on time.

I'm always surprised when I comes on time - and is super light- and three day :)

      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?
