For those of you with very irregular periods or pcos, how long after losing weight did you start getting a period every month. And have any of you not started to get regular.

I have PCOS and was actually wondering this same question!! I even talked to my mom about it today! ITS HELL. Im pre OP and just this week EVEN ON BIRTH CONTROL I was almost a week late ( about gave me a heart attack) I just dont know when its gonna end uhg! I was curious too if it would even itself out or if i should stop taking my pills and get an IUD put in so I wont gain weight with the pills even more after surgery. Hope you find your answer! Im curious too!

I have endometriosis and had awful periods. Irregular and cramps that would leave me in the bed. I switched to an estrogen free pill, micronor, and haven't had a period in 135 days. I'm in heaven! It's 98% effective where most pills are 99%, but we're supposed to use a barrier method anyway for the first 18-24 months post so I went for it. Best decision I've made :)

I had horrible periods also and birth control didn't help any. I finally had endometrial ablation done and I couldn't be happier. Of course I plan on not having any more children. Pretty much they burn the lining of your uterus. It sounds painful but it's not. No more periods for me!!

I had an oblation also. Best thing I've ever done. I had super heavy periods with big clots and terrible cramps. Now my period is really light. I don't need more than a liner or thin pad. Whoo Hoo!

I have pcos and hadn't had a period in almost 2 years. I spotted the day after my surgery. 4/16 Nothing major. Three days ago, it started with a vengeance. It's like the Texas chainsaw massacre is going on in there. Tmi I know. Worst period I've had in my life and its not let up any yet. Surgeon said estrogen would slam me after I lost so much and restart them. I'm down 60 pounds and he was right. I didn't miss this at all bit glad my body is trying to get back to normal.

      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.

      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.
