So prior to surgery my cycle was pretty regular and it should have started two to three days ago. Has anyone else found that postop their cycle did not start when they expected?
I began bleeding insanely and irregularly while on my preop liquid diet. It was really odd. I was bleeding like a stuck pig when I went in for my surgery and it continued the whole time I was in the hospital and didn't stop until it had been a week.
Now, I'm back to not bleeding at all, but that's normal for me. I have the Mirena IUD. I am relieved that I am no longer bleeding. I love that about Mirena.
Mine is completely unpredictable. I got the first one a few days after surgery, then it was like 2 months and it was one of the heaviest ever. Then 5 weeks later I had another one and it was normal. I don't think there's any particular answer for everyone, just like everything else lol
Pre-sleeve, I was irregular. Post-sleeve, I am very regular but super-heavy for the first 36 hours (I have to set an alarm for every 1.5-2 hour -- oh joy, not).
Surgery, any surgery, can mess with your cycle. Couple that with the body stress of rapid weight loss combined with the sudden release of stored estrogen in your fat cells, and cycles can go haywire.
