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!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
