Surgery can cause some hormonal shifts for sure. If you're post-menopausal, it's a good idea to mention it to your surgeon or gynecologist and see what they advise. If you're younger and just have secondary amenorrhea, losing weight might be causing a return of more normal cycles.

I am assuming you are post menopausal having not had a period in 3 years. Or perhaps you have had other medical history and are young and simply did not get your period. So a bit of background matters.

I have read a few articles online that says the stress of surgery /going under can induce a period. But depending on your situation, if you are post menopausal, I would check with my GP right away to see if that means anything different. Its like the hormonal changes.

How long ago was your surgery is also an important factor. Better to ask a doc a question on that one
