maybe your body will get back in rhythem? I believe there is a forum for PCOS sleevers? should be able to get some answers from ones who went thru this?

I don't have PCOS, but I do know that this surgery can make hormones and periods go crazy. Some people have very frequent, long, heavy periods after surgery. Mine have all but disappeared. I wouldn't worry if it's a normal period, but I *would* definitely bring it up to your doctor at your next visit, and maybe bring it up to your gyn too.

Good luck!

I have PCOS, am 38, have had years with no periods, have been somewhat normal since birth of 2nd kid in 2007... Sleeved in October and crazy periods since... One right after surgery, then skipped a month, now seem ready to start early again.

All of the period craziness really messes with scale #s, so keep that in mind.

I have heard of this happening many times after surgery. Hang in there!

I dont have PCOS but I have an IUD and rarely get a period and if I do it lasts less than 24 hours and it's spotting ( sorry if TMI)

When I was on my liquid diet pre surgery I got the heaviest period I had in years! and lasted very long. I thought it may have been due to my body changes.

I did get what I think was a Yeast infection post surgery.. my doc said probably cause of antibiotics - didnt last too long! haha sorry another tmi

Not familiar with PCOS personally, and I'm menopausal now. But I lost 130 pounds at age 28 over about 18 months. My periods had been infrequent since my first one at age almost-17. That weight loss kickstarted my cycle big time. Heavy, frequent, crampy. I was told that estrogen is stored in fat. When that fat is released, so is a rush of hormones. Anything goes. Hope things even out for you. As for me, I haven't had a period in two years and I was really worried that my recent 100 pound loss would restart it. But so far nope. Glad not to have to repeat the hot flashes and night sweats. Lol. Good luck.

I love these boards because whenever I have a question/issue, I come here and see that others are going thru the same thing.

I'm scheduled for surgery this Wednesday and today I feel like I'm getting my period. My periods are irregular and that's usually due to my weight. When I gain, they go away, when I lose, they come back.

I'm on day 11 of the pre op diet and am down 10 lbs and am now worried that I am getting my period BEFORE surgery.

I've never had surgery before and was wondering if they'll still do it if I currently have my "friend"??

Sometimes I get the feeling and it doesn't come, but I just wasn't sure what would happen w/the surgery.

Thanks everyone!

ugh! Sorry, just realized I posted this in POST op and I'm not there yet!! Forgive me, I'm a newbie and don't know how to delete the post.

I have PCOS and an IUD. I have about 2 periods a year that last a couple of days but are so light that you only need pantiliner -- sorry if TMI. But since my surgery 3 weeks ago I have been heavily spotting and cramping on and off for 2 weeks. I was told it was normal and was due to the surge in estrogen from rapid weight loss.

@@kathy0529 Don't worry. Your "friend" will not matter at all. Mine showed up the day before surgery. No problem. Good luck!
