Gastric sleeve/menstrual cycle

[mwegner07 6]

I'm now 9 weeks post op and my cycle has dramatically improved. It's like clock work the last 2 cycles since surgery, every 28 days. My PCOS symptoms have improved dramatically. I'm not even on metformin or anything for pcos.

My period seems like it's all over the place. My surgery was 2/23 & I got my period 3/1-3/18 & then it came on again on 3/30-4/4 & came on again 4/29-5/1. I have no idea what's going on.

Your body stores hormones in your excess fat. So when you burn that fat, the hormones get released into your body, and then your body gets confused and your periods get goofy. I'm dealing with that myself, coming off a 10-day period. I've lost 30 lbs so far and I'm still pre-op, very curious to see what losing 100 lbs will do to my cycles!

LOVE hearing this! I've got PCOS as well and I'm hoping for a resolution to my symptoms and, once it's safe, to be able to have kids.

I'm amazed at how quickly things were going back to "normal" for my body. I had terrible acne, a little bit of facial hair (I wax my upper lip because I have darker hairs there, but they're fine hairs, I'm just paranoid lol), and now my skin has completely cleared up, I rarely wear makeup, and my facial hair has not come back as fast as it use to.

I was 9 months maybe 10 without a cycle... until the following day I came home from surgery. I had a full blown period, pretty bad too. Clotting was intense. I also have pcos, I'm like you in hopes this straightens things out!

So I have a weird question. How long did you guys wait to have sex? My surgeon never said anything about waiting so many weeks. I'm assuming that it's 4 to 6 weeks?

I have been very irregular my whole life... sometimes going 4 months without a period.

I am 4 months post op now and have had a regular 28 - 32 day cycle every time since!!

My sleeve surgery was such a shock to my system that I went into early menopause at 38 years old. I was hoping the surgery would lead to an opportunity to get pregnant and carry a child to full term, however, it seems like its not in the cards for me. I've decided to focus on the positive aspects of what the surgery has done for me and take advantage of my new healthy life.

Oh gosh, that terrifies me. I'm having this surgery in order to lose weight so I can have kids (married 16 years now, PCOS is evil), if I went into menopause I think I would just break.

Omg me too! I has the surgery to have a baby too. I have pcos as well. No period for 15 months. I'm 3 weeks out

The first 24 hours I was home, I had a period. First one in MONTHS. So I thought maybe that this was the beginning of getting lined out. I just was 3 months post op...nothing since. #sigh

Has anyone noticed drastric weight loss while on your period. I lost 8 pounds while on my period which lasted 16 days. My cycle was late for over 20 days. I was in a stall for 3 weeks. Just curious to know if anyone is experiencing the same.
