sandisleeve 563 Posted December 24, 2013 My surgeon said VSG can disrupt the menstrual cycle ..... I've head women on YouTube report that they missed their period for several months after getting VSG (not immediately after but a few months out and then bam no period for several months) Makes me nervous a bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OHHLALA 11 Posted December 25, 2013 It happened to me also it's a combination of body trauma, and there's a lot of estrogen in fat so the fat is dissipating and the body is adjusting to hormone levels. 1 nursekimberly89 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EggWithLegs 23 Posted December 25, 2013 It happened to me also it's a combination of body trauma, and there's a lot of estrogen in fat so the fat is dissipating and the body is adjusting to hormone levels. This sounds plausible. I'm going to do more research. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenny12 361 Posted December 30, 2013 I had very light periods the first 3-4 months, but then I didn't have one at all until 11 months out. I had never skipped a period in my life prior to this, so it was bizarre to me. I went 7 months without one. Finally got one this month now that I am in maintenance. Our bodes are freaking out during the weight loss phase. At least mine was! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ballermom 803 Posted December 30, 2013 I have not seen mine at all. Because of my age I didn't worry. But I'll be following up with my physician. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oak Park Lorena 162 Posted January 3, 2014 I'm four months out and no period since the surgery. It is unsettling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pittsy 3 Posted January 11, 2014 I just got on the forum to see if I could find out anything about periods and stumbled on this post. I was sleeved on 10/23, and I'm down 50 pounds :-). I'm also in ketosis, but I'm having the opposite problem with my period. I've had three periods in the last month and a half. Any input would be great because I've always had normal monthly periods. It's frustrating because I'm breaking out with pimples on my neck and back, and it stalls my weight loss. Thanks for your help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been on the pill for years with very regular periods. Since surgery 5 months ago, I've had my 7 times and twice lasting way too long (10 and 12 days). It has been getting better the further out I get. Since everything else is fine, I just planed to ask the dr at my 6 month in a few weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since everything else is fine, I just planed to ask the dr at my 6 month in a few weeks. --- Just got my 1st cycle post vsg (jan 12 is my 1 month surgiversary!!) Cramps are not horrible as they were pre vsg -- managing pain pretty well with e.s. Tylenol (can't use Advil per my surgeon post vsg) .. Flow is lighter than normal which is very unusual -- I usually soak through ultra tampons and overnight extra protection pads within a couple hours for the first few days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
