yes. In fact I was on depro and have not had a period for 2 years from it. I started one right after surgery for 8 days.

Ok, I can top y'all :P

I'm 55 and have been looking forward to menopause for almost thirty years. Over the last year I actually stopped my TOM and thought I was to enter into the never-have-another-period-again stage in life. BUT OOOOOH NOOOOO.. That wasn't to be for me! I'm three months post-op and guess whose had three periods. Go figure!

:D

I would suggest you may want to call your gynecologist. I stopped my periods for a year and then started bleeding again and so they wanted to do a uterine biopsy. at our age they want to just make sure the bleeding isn't some other cause.

I was sleeved 3/4/13 and I'm patiently waiting for mine to show up. It's was "due" this past Monday and its no were to be found. I'm usually very regular.

actually I'm a month out as of yesterday and when I went to the hospital for my surgery, i started my period. before then, my period was a bit funky, just spotting and not regular, but low and behold, my period showed up Monday right on time and unusually heavy. so i think the only thing is probably that it's heavier than usual for me. it showed up on time surprisingly. made me gain a kg too ㅠㅠ

Well it came today and let me tell you all it is kicking my sleeved butt!! I feel bloated and gross and for the first time I want to eat all the time and want sweet and crunchy!! It is weird!! But I am holding on reminding myself it might be a kind of head hunger or something!! sugar free hot chocolate gave me a sweet treat!

I have stayed the same weight for the past three days!! Which in my opinion is ok because I didn't gain!!!

Definitely! At the time of my surgery I was 53 and for the year prior my periods had dwindled to nothing and I was certain I was almost finished. A month after surgery and I had a regular period complete with cramps and have had one every month since. I am one year post op on the 30th of this month. Due to some menopause symptoms also I have been struggling lately and have been on a long plateau. I was a slow loser from the start though so knew this would happen. My surgeon told me it was very common for the surgery to change your cycle.

I was due yesterday and was sure it was coming since I was up on the scale all week but....no sight of it. My surgery would have been right around ovulation time so I'm guessing that the trauma from that probably delayed my ovulation which will lead to a longer cycle than normal. I am normally like clockwork.

      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.
