sweetzcp 30 Posted January 6, 2017 Is this normal? I am 48 years young and haven't had my monthly menstrual since April 2013. My surgery (sleeve and Hiatal Hernia repair) date was 12/27 at 240lbs. I am 10 days post op, down to 225lbs. I woke up this morning to my menstrual cycle after almost 4 years. Has this happened to anyone else or could it be something else?

ShelterDog64 2,364 Posted January 6, 2017 @@sweetzcp It happened to me! I was about 10 months into menopause and had my surgery (I was 51)...I had 4 full menstrual cycles post-op, then they stopped again. My PCM wasn't concerned about it, as there's so much estrogen stored in our fat and that estrogen being mobilized is probably what caused the bleeding.

sweetzcp 30 Posted January 6, 2017 Ok thanks. True Menopause begins after 1 full year absence of your menstrual cycle. So technically you were in a pre menopausal state. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hmm33502 187 Posted January 6, 2017 My hormones are completely out of wack! I am having crazy hot flashes and complaining about burning up when everyone else is freezing. Before surgery I was always cold. I'm only 1 week out and only 37, but my body is ON FIRE!!! The dr said hormone changes are completely normal after surgery. He told me to wait 3 months to go to my GYN and ENDO so things can level out more!! SW:327 CW:239 GW:155 Heather in Texas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How is that possible Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I was banded in 2010. 8 days ago I got my band removed and had a sleeve. Since the band didn't remove any anatomy, it didn't change my hormones, PCOS actually improved! After sleeve, it's hot flash city!!! I lost 100 originally, but gained from complications....almost back to 100 down!! SW:327 CW:239 GW:155 Heather in Texas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
