late menstrual cycle post surgery?



Recommended Posts

Ummm... just wondering if any ladies experienced their cycle changing after surgery? Im four days late n this never happens. Is this common after surgery?

The anesthesia and the "trauma" of the surgery totally wack out your hormones. Some people start early some people late. It is nothing to worry about. Part of the healing process! I hope you are feeling pretty good post OP!

Mine was way out of wack. Came 2 days after surgery, & that was 2 weeks early. I'd get it twice in one month, i missed it for a couple of months too. Went back to normal after 6 months. Now I'm 10 1/2 months post op & now it's 2 weeks late.

my doctor actually said it might not be regular after surgery (even though i'm not regular anyway), but they did say i couldn't use my birth control 4 weeks before and 4 weeks after my surgery. which i find weird, i guess hormones affect you a lot more than you think. hm!

Mine was weird as well. Before I had my surgery, it was irregular because I was overweight. I did not had my period for an amount of years when I was heavy. Now, almost six month post-op, I am on my periods again. In fact, I've just started on my third month period today. So, it's a relief that they are a month apart.

These happen after surgery, so it should not be a problem. But if something happens, let the doctor know about it.

      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. 🤞
