Curious did any one else skip a period after surgery? I actually got mine a week after but now I am 2 weeks late and not sexually active so just curious if anyone else skipped periods. If I miss next month I'll advise my doctor but I can only assume my body is in complete shock and with all the new Vitamins etc. my body is just not 100% yet.

I'm glad to know this may be a possibility. I'm 44 (ugh) and wondering about whether surgery might send me into early menopause---I so hope not!! Does anyone out there know if this is possible? On an aside, been finally ordering all of my supplies tonight online (we live in the middle of nowhere!) so I feel like I'm finally close to being ready for this surgery on Sept 5!! Yes, I'm really going to do it. Dr. Hoehn in Kansas City will be my surgeon. Thanks to everyone for posting on this site. It has been so helpful to read; just wish I had more time to read them all! My little guy starts kinder in 2 days (BOO HOO!) so I should have a little more time to do that--I hope.

The exact opposite has happened to me. I was sleeved on August10th and I have been bleeding since. Not a regular period with cramps and all but just bleeding. The weird thing is that my cycle came on about a week before surgery. I have pcos and havent seen a regular period in years. Maybe its just resetting itself....idk....anyone else???

First it came early, then it came two weeks late. I got on the pill around month three so now I'm on a schedule

Have you told your doctor? I would definitely have it checked out.

Of course the day after I post this I start my period. Yay?? Um not! I haven't had this bad of a period since college. Any pain killer suggestions since we can't have ibprohphen. Hysterectomy sounds good about now.

Mine has gone crazy. Two weeks late the first time and then a week late the next. I think our bodies don't know what to do with us!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
