For the ladies....Was your cycle messed up after surgery?

[sarah1732 18]

I was sleeved 9/21/15 and my cycle is all over the place. Anyone else have this problem?

[KathyRS 29]

Mine was late by 4 days.

[KathyRS 29]

I should have added, mine was 4 days late, then went back to normal the second month.

Im 7 months out and mine is def all over the place ????????

[Elode 8,093]

Nope. Mines exactly as it was before. I was thinking it would be all messed up but no.

I suffer from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and rarely even had a cycle to begin with. Maybe three times a year if I was lucky. Now that I've lost weight, I'm noticing that things are starting to normalize for me.

I was a year into menopause and had a cycle after surgery. The flood of hormones into your system is a killer.

Thankfully nothing since.

I also have PCOS. I didn't have any periods before surgery (I also have Mirena IUD) but I had one right after surgery and I've ovulated every month since. Sometimes I ovulate twice a month. If I wanted to have a baby it wouldn't take long once I took the IUD out.

Yes. I had 3 periods in 6 weeks.

Hahahaahha, don't even get me started. I mean, I am already perimenopausal, so I get fairly random stuff anyway. However, the first period after surgery -- about a month after -- was like some sort of Biblical plague had been visited upon my house. GUSHING. And a clot the size of my palm. It turns out that this is a common thing: WLS + increased Iron = REALLY HEAVY PERIODS. Sometimes for six months or more in a row.

So, excitement! I'm hoping if it happens again, it at least won't be quite so bad.

Mine started nine days early ????

[HealthyRN 56]

WLS was 10/13, only off my cycle for 11 days and now its back, very light but back????

I also have pcos. My periods are very painful and very heavy! I'm really missing my Advil. Any other suggestions?

Midol and heating pads.

I am 2 months out. I started the week following surgery which was about a week and a half early. The next two months have been like clockwork from that first pre-surgery one.
