luckylady131 51 Posted September 4, 2012 Was sleeved 5 weeks ago. I had a normal period 2 weeks before surgery. I have very regular, somewhat heavy periods that last about 7 days, and am not on birth control. After surgery (1.5 weeks), my period starts. Very light for the first several days, then super heavy. It lasts 11 days. Then 10 days later, my period shows up again...again very light. It's day 6 of this weird light period. Are there some homeopathic herbs or something that can help my body stop freaking out? I really don't want to be on birth control again (DH is snipped). I'm due for my annual exam this month. It was hoping I could find a solution before then. It's so freaking annoying! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legal loser 77 Posted September 4, 2012 Hopefully, it's your body adjusting to all the changes. I am on birth control and even with birth control I had irregular periods about every other week after surgery. Just over 4 months out, I think my body has finally adjusted and synched back up with my birth control. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prettysleeved1 173 Posted September 4, 2012 It's common and due to the hormonal load that fat cells carry. It'll settle down eventually. Your body is just trying to get you to a new normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nessa1977 155 Posted September 4, 2012 I had my period at the time of the op (thank GOD it wasn't a heavy one) and the next 2 following op were fine yet I'm now 2 weeks overdue with this cycle, with only a tiny amount of spotting. I feel crampy, but nothing happening. Might ask my GP about it but she'll probably dismiss it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
