Menstrual cycle is messed up :(



Recommended Posts

Yep my period is all screwed up. It's getting better, but it's still weird.

I'm five weeks out from surgery & on my second week of my cycle. So I am guessing this may be normal.

Pre-Op I was regular every 25 days.... now I am looking at 38+..... not on birth control.... but apparently your cycle can change do to your hormones changing (that is what my surgery team says)..... it is taking some getting used to :wacko:

I just got mine and it was 10 days late I am assuming it's just my body and hormones adjusting I was hoping to just miss it all together! Lol

I'm totally off, was sleeved 2/18/14 had in March, nothing in April going on into May nothing yet. I'm older so I thought menopause, but no hot flashes yet. So I think hormones are messed up.

Even I had my irregular periods, but as such periods 10 days late is normal, but if it is 3 months late or heavy bleeding lasting for 10 days can be a serious issue that has to be checked from the doctor. I had once heavy bleeding during my menstrual periods, I consulted with my doctor, she gave some medications and suggested me to use coupelle menstruelle so that it is comfortable during heavy bleeding.

I'm 3 years post op, and my period is only back on track for about the last 8 months. WLS causes your body to go into shock, hormone levels go up and down and therefore you might suffer erratic or lost periods for some time after surgery. Your body needs to adjust and reprogram itself. Give it time, don't stress about it. :)

Really normal to have messed up menstrual cycles after surgery...your cycle has a lot to do with diet and weight. When all of that stabilizes, so will your cycles

      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. 🤞
