Spotting ... 3 weeks post op ... TMI maybe?

[IWannaBeSkinny 0]

Hey Guys, Sorry if this is TMI.

I was banded on Jan. 12th. One week later I started my period and had a semi normal one.

Then a couple of days ago I spotted and that was it. Then last night I woke up feeling really sick and went to the bathroom and I was spotting again. I thought it was going to be an actual period, but, this AM nothing else.

I am / was really crampy feeling.

So, is this normal? Anyone else is the same boat?

Thanks guys...

HI, I just wanted to drop in and let you know you are not alone. I was banded on the 15th, and I have been spotting off and on since the 29th of Jan. I am actually still spotting. Nothing that requires a pad, but more or less I see it when I go to the bathroom. I have had the bloating and PMS thingy going on, but still no actual flow. If my period doesn't come completely on by the 10th, I will definitely speak with my GYN and the surgeon. I never thought I would say this but, I just really want my cycle to just come and be done. I wish us both luck.

I had a similiar experience. I had an IUD put in about 4 months before surgery. That makes my periods lighter, but 2 weeks long instead of 1 week.

The day of surgery, I started my period. It continued for 4 weeks! I asked my surgeon if the band was related and he said no and that I should check with my OBGYN and make sure I don't have an ectopic pregnancy.

I am not pregnant and am now 2 months post op. My last period was back to normal.

I am having issues like this too. I have been spotting off and on for a few weeks. I have pcos and don't usually have periods. So it is strange. My gyn doesnt seem concerned. Let us know if you find out anything.
