I was sleeved 10/27. I had my period 2 weeks in November and then in December I've had it for almost the whole month. Has anyone experienced this. I've lost a total of 40 pounds.

Lord I hope this doesnt not happen...my cycle came a week late this time I figure because I had the surgry when it was due. I was hoping it would shorten

I've heard from several people in my support group that this is common. Check with your surgeon/OB if it continues or starts worrying you.

Not only did this happen to me but the pain from it has been horrible. I had ablation years ago so I didn't have a period for over 8 years and now this. I was sleeved 9/27

I was also sleeved 10/27. I've had a different menstrual issue--- suuuuper heavy flow. Doesn't last longer than normal but it's like a flood down there. I'm told that is normal too. Our hormones are changing

Sometimes even post menopausal woman have bleeding after abdominal surgery. I had hot flashes so bad the Dr put me back on hormones.

So many hormones are stored in fat get released as women who've had WLS lose so much weight so quickly. Unless you want be pregnant be sure to use birth control. Ovulation is another consequence of rapid weight loss.

Mine have been rough because I had to stop taking my birth control prior to surgery. I had two periods last month.

I haven't but I have heard that is normal after rapid weight loss.
