Ladies: Post sleeve menses question!

[Need4Change 26]

Has your sleeve or weight loss had an affect on your monthly cycle? My cycle (which had been absent for 4 months due to an IUD) showed up 4 days post-op and has been steady (albeit lightly) flowing for the last 3 weeks.

Anyone else have similar issues?

Omg mine too , started up spotting 2 days after surgery and has not stopped , sleeved sep 7 , is this norm??

Yes...FAT holds a lot of hormones and if you are releasing the fat, your period may get out of whack. I've had my period TWICE since 8/17. GOOD TIMES. The good news is it wasn't as HEAVY as it used to be. It's pretty normal and it should regulate itself soon. For more information search for it under the post-op topics, there are a lot of threads about it.

GOOD LUCK!

Same here, on birth control and still having a irregular period for the last two weeks. ????????

Mine was 9 days late and wicked heavy. It lasted about the normal length of time though.
