harley_quinn25 80 Posted January 24, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThreeCrows 46 Posted January 25, 2015 I've had weird spotting since surgery 9 days ago. I think it's just a physical stress thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anaxila 501 Posted January 25, 2015 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.

Mayaresearchmom 104 Posted January 25, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
georgiare 63 Posted January 25, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

angb1982 29 Posted February 8, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gabbys_mom 7 Posted February 10, 2015 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!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
