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

Mine came today at our family function 3 days early.... Merry Christmas to me LOL. I didn't skip this month but wondered if I might. Sleeved 12/16 and down 20.8 lbs. hopefully you'll start soon.

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.

Sorry I miss typed...I am not three months out, I'm three weeks out. My period is almost a week late.

This sounds plausible. I'm going to do more research.

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!

I have not seen mine at all. Because of my age I didn't worry.

But I'll be following up with my physician.

I'm four months out and no period since the surgery. It is unsettling.

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!

I have no advice, but can tell you that you are not alone. 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.

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

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
