Problems w/ Menstrual Cycle Since Surgery?



Recommended Posts

I'm only 3 weeks post-op, but this week I started my menstrual cycle and to be blunt, I'm bleeding like a stuck hog!! My periods have been very light since I had an ablasion done several years ago. I don't understand why I'm doing this. I go back to dr. Dec. 31, but I'm just wanting to know if anyone else has had this problem????

I am 4 months out 1week after surgery I had the heaviest cycle ever and cramps to die for. And that was it. Just saw my GYN last week and my surgeon had full labs only to find out I am experiencing menopause. It took RNY for my cycle to stop. Really....

Mine have been much lighter...combination of perimenapause and no ibuprofen.

I am dying. I have had mine heavy since my surgery oct 30th. I had been to my GYN and they gave me birth control to take on top of my birth-control I already have in my arm. It is not helping. This reAlly sucks because I'm feeling amazing about my self and honestly getting sexual frustrated!! I don't know what to do anymore! Ugh!!

The surgery/weight loss actually helped mine. I have PCOS. In the past I have gone as long as 1 1/2 years without a period. And it would be very heavy and last for about a week. Since the sx, it has regulated like clock work and it only lasts 4-5 days with minimal cramping.

      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. 🤞
