patsy1965 2 Posted December 28, 2012 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???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swilkins 34 Posted December 29, 2012 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.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amtlmt 25 Posted December 30, 2012 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!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
babygirl901 173 Posted December 31, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
