Girls-still no period?



Recommended Posts

My period was never very regular before surgery, but it been 3 months and I'm down 45. I would have thought I would at least get one period by now? Anyone have any ideas or words if wisdom?

It can take awhile for hormones to regulate, especially if your period was erratic before surgery. You can talk to your OB/GYN about putting you on the pill which will give you a regular period.

I agree with LSP about talking to your gyno and possibly considering birth control. (Personally I don't like BC because it makes me dry down there and lowers my libido from medium to zlich, but everyone's body is different)

I was sleeved in December and didn't start having regular periods until around April, so what's that, like 4 months? Prior to becoming morbidly obese, my periods were fickle. For instance, sometimes it'd be 28 days between, sometimes as much as 40 days. When I was under stress, I could miss my period for months. Like when I was 17, I did a study abroad for three months and though I was a virgin (so no chance of pregnancy) I didn't have a period the entire time. As soon as I got home, my period came on the next day.

I used to be on birth control to regulate them. When on it, they were always regular, once a month. Without it, I was lucky if I had two periods a year. I'll have to get back on it. I no longer have insurance, so seeing my old OB will be a bank breaker :/

check with your local health department. They have nurses that work their and you can get birth control on a sliding scale based on your income.

Consider yourself lucky! I had an 8 week period post op. It stopped, I took 4 weeks off and then had another one.

I would definitely get with your gyno though!

Guess I worried for nothing! Guess what showed up bright and early this morning, haha!

LOL, isn't that how it always is. Once you stop stressing about it, it's like "SURPRISE! Here I am!"

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
