Did anyone else experience this? I got my period 4 days after surgery as expected. I should have gotten it again over a week ago. I'm not pregnant but have been bloated and crampy. Also am. I retaining Water? I feel like I am.

This hasn't happened to me, but before my surgery my nurse told me that a lot of women do skip periods. No big deal!

Your body is literally in shock from surgery. It's trying to figure out what the crap you did to it, lol. And it will feel somewhat weird for a while, as all of your organs and bones and muscles try to adjust. I was on my period when I had surgery and I ended up bleeding for two weeks, then didn't have a period for over a month...when my doc put me back on my BC pills, things started to straighten out. Major surgery like the sleeve is a pretty large trauma to the body. Things will straighten out!! As long as you know you aren't pregnant, you're fine.

Mine was almost two weeks late.

Prior to surgery I hadn't had one for over a year due to my Mirena. Got one 5 days post op, and now 7 weeks out its started again. It's a pretty common stress response for them to become irregular, but definitely one I could have lived without!!
