Hi. Did anyone else skip a period after surgery? I never got mine this month and I am wondering if it is related. I am not pregnant for sure for sure. Surgery was June 27th.

I was so glad that I started last week, knowing that means I'll be period free during my hospital stay next week. I hadn't even thought about the possibility of irregularities afterwards. Dang!

I'd bring some pads with you just in case. You might have some bleeding/spotting even if you had your period already. Just from the stress of the surgery on your body. Better to be prepared!

I can't imagine that happening since I've maintained regularity for the past 20 years, but if I do, I'll just ask for hospital pads. Can't be any worse than using them after delivering a baby!

Yes. I had mine the week before surgery and since I'm on the pill I always know when it's coming so I planned it that way. I did not want my period during surgery. I started again 3 days post op anyway just from the stress on my body. I bled for a month after that! It was crazy and I thought it would never end.

So my period has been totally unchanged by surgery...started on schedule 2 weeks post op, pretty normal, bleeding and cramping nothing out of the ordinary....started using the nuvaring about 2 months post-op so now I have almost no period. Woohoo! Just wanted to share that for any pre-op folks that were reading this thread thinking OMG IT HAPPENS TO EVERYONE?!?!? Not everyone, but it does sound like a pretty good chunk of folks have some hormone changes!

I had no change in period either.. I had mine 2 weeks before and it came right on time 2 weeks after, except it has gone from ovulating on day 16 to day 14 and from a 28-29 day cycle to a 26-27 day cycle... Can't really complain with that but I have always been super regular!

I'm glad someone brought this up. My Dr. made me go off the pill a month before surgery until a month after. I was desperate NOT to since I have very heavy/painful cycles and it took years to get it under control. Alas, I went off it and am back on now (5 months Post surgery - 4 months taking pill.) but I've been spotting the entire time.

Super annoying. Tampons are expensive!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
