I am on the 3month shot n I dnt have a period but right after my surgery my menstral cycle came n its really heavy. Im nt trying 2 gross anyone out but has anyone else experience this? I cnt even get out of the bed only 2 go 2 the washroom. This is really scaring me 2 see the huge lumps that im passing. any suggestions until my doctor is open 2morrow?

I had something similar. I have an IUD and have not had a period in about three years once I was anded and started losing weight I started having my periods again. It was never that heavy but I would cramp real bad and become extremely bitchy. I haven't really looked into it so I don't have any advise but know that you are not alone. Let me know what your doctor says.

Good luck.

Not exactly the same, but i had shocking PMS, cramps, bowel symptoms and really really sore boobs that started up each month about four months after banding and lasted about 9 months before things settled and became more normal again.

Hormonal disturbances like this are common when you're losing a lot of weight, but of course, it should still be checked out by a doctor. Dont assume it's just due to weight loss.

I don't know if this is related but my surgeon makes everyone go off birth control pills/medications for a month before and 2 months after surgery. The meds can promote clotting so perhaps it has some type of altering effect. Don't know for sure but I'm thinking it is somehow related.

yes mine is heavy and cramping... i am hoping it is the diet and will be back to no periods. my doctor knew i was on depo but never told me to except this... i was freaking out last night when i started cramping and started.

My period started today and I ws banded 4 days ago! Bummer! My periods are heavy anyways but thanks for the warning on even a heavier period because of the surgery! Yikes. Being a girl is no fun sometimes.
