IMHO I'd buy a cheap pregnancy test and do a test. I also keep extras on hand in case. I doubt anything is wrong but it could be your body adjusting to the surgery.

I've had weird spotting since surgery 9 days ago. I think it's just a physical stress thing.

I am on the pill and am currently enjoying my third period in six weeks. I talked about this with my surgical team, and they said it was not unusual. It's the usual story for most weird things that happen at this stage: body reeling from the trauma of surgery, hormones and toxins being released willy nilly, should only be temporary, yadda yadda. All I can say is that the bleeding is getting really really old. But then again, since that's the worst that's happened to me so far, I am still immensely grateful.

You may not be feeling stressed, however your body has gone through a major stress, and continues to be stressed as you suddenly start to lose weight. In our pre-op group meetings we were told to expect major pms symptoms, and possible changes to cycles, as the weight loss causes an increase in the release of estrogen and other hormones. Not to worry though as it begins to level out after the first month or so.

I use an implant, never have periods normally with it, and I was spotting for about the first 3-4 weeks after surgery. It's definitely a result of the surgery, but also the drastic dietary change and hormonal changes that go along with both I believe.

I was on birth control when I had my surgery and my period wasn't due yet as I still had another two weeks before it was supposed to arrive and I got my period in full force while on the pill 6 days after my surgery. Your body can do some weird things as it and your hormones adjust.

When I was in the hospital having my surgery I wasn't due to get my period for two weeks and boom I got it in the hospital with a vengeance after I woke up in recovery. Now I'm kind of out of whack!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
