female only Aunt Flo?

So, I was sleeved on August 15th and she popped in town that Monday before my surgery so the 11th. I typically and right about every 30 days but the last 3 days I have had signs of her visiting when I wipe, but nothing on a pad, and it's earlier than should be. Anyone else experience a change in cycle and flow?

From what I've read, changes in schedule, spotting in between, etc., are pretty common as your body adjusts to major surgery. I've had mine once since surgery, on time, but man was it brutal. 10 days long, more cramps than ever and super heavy. I hope that's all it takes to regulate itself because I don't want to put up with that!

Yes, I had my cycle right before surgery, then 2 weeks after surgery again, and ever since, it has not been right. My last cycle lasted about 10 days, ugh... Hopefully it goes back to normal? But I ,too have read this can happen after surgery.

Hai ladies!

First off, something fantastic and not so great about those pleasantly plump fat cells in our body - they store our excess hormones, lots of them. One of the main ones being Estrogen. As you burn fat after WLS a couple of things happen. All of those stored hormones are released and confuse the body, cysts that you once had inside you start to shrink and release small amounts of blood, and the last factor would be the blood thinner you were given / anesthesia. Your body wants to purge those drugs however it can because they are essentially poisons. Keep drinking that Water and see a gyno if things don't straighten up in the next cycle.

I have been visited by my aunt for almost 2 strait months after surgery. My OBJYN has been called, he gave me estrogen to take. I am going to call and make an appointment.This is just ridiculous.

I had mine during sleeve surgery and then came like normal the following month, but this month was different. It came earlier and has definitely been more intense, lasting longer and more cramps. I also hope this doesn't last long and regulates. Ugh!
