Ok I just had my surgery a couple of weeks ago and unfortunately I few days afterwards my monthly friend came back after about year and a half of not having it . My question is did this happen to you? And how long did it last? Its been well over a week for me and there seems to be no end in site.

I had surgery Monday 8/19 and by Wednesday I had started my period. I woke up this morning and it is finally gone!

The same thing happened to me. I was almost to 8 months without a period and it came back while I was in the hospital and I had it for about 2 weeks. REALLY HARD!! I did ask my doctor about this to see if it was "normal" and he said it wasn't normal but, happened quite often. Since, our hormones get messed up during this process. I am about 2 months post op now and I have had it 3 times.

NO NO NO...Say it ain't so!!! I have happily not had to deal with that for over a year now and would prefer not to go back to it!!! LOL I guess losing weight will be worth it though.

Yep.. I was a hopin' and a prayin' for menopause, but ooooh no, I got a visitor right after surgery and ever since! Ugh!

I had regular periods, and one of two things happened (sorry its been awhile). I either skipped a month or it started up early...but it has been regular again ever since, but the cycle start date changed by about 10 days.

Excess weight can have an effect on your cycle. Changing that can also effect it, but seems like right after surgery is a bit soon. ( of course given weight loss from pre op diets could be the reason) But the good news is things will be SOOOOO much easier to reach with the extra weight gone!!! LOL

Thank you everyone I was just worried because I actually got birth control implant that was suppose to stop it. And I thought I would be in the clear but low and behold here it is. Thank you ladies for the honesty
