Good morning, Roxiaa! I had started earlier in January and had my surgery on Monday. Tuesday, went to the bathroom with the PT lady and guess what...there it is again. They told me at the hospital that it is pretty normal for that to happen. However, that has me wondering how "normal" my cycle will be now. Have I thrown the whole thing off kilter?

I'm 4 months out, am on drugs to stop my periods (because of severe PCOS), but have had three. First two lasted over 17 days each, the third, not so bad.

'tis our hormones going all over the place and is normal :D

Miss Flo was suppose to come the day after surgery!!! Dec 11th to be specific here I am almost 2 months later no Flo yet!!! Can I say nervous but I also read this is pretty common!!! One girl on the forum didn't have hers for 4 months!!! Took a blood test waiting for the results:(

I'm 15 months out - for the first few months I was coming on about every three weeks and they lasted a week each... now I'm starting to get more in to the 'normal' cycle of every four weeks - past couple were five weeks in between though - and lasting the four days... sometimes heavy, sometimes very light - sure enough our hormones are all over the place for some time :(

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
