    Default Menstrual period 3 days after gastric sleeve surgery

    It’s day three after my surgery and I just got my period. These stomach cramps are feeling like any other normal period but the fact that it is only three days after my surgery , is it normal to be getting my period ?

    Also, I know this is TMI but I am having dark stool that is slimy and associated with my period blood. I know I should be contacting my doctor and I have I am just waiting for a response. I am just to period and want to know if anybody else has experienced the same thing ?

    When I went through preregistration the nurse said its pretty common to have a period even if you already had one for the month, because of the blood thinner you get while in the hospital. The other thing i don't know about.

    More than likely your period will go crazy after surgery. I was on my period the day of surgery and got it again a week later. It's your body's reaction to a major surgery.

    I don't know about the stool question though. Hopefully your doctor's office can help you with that.

    The sleeve surgery doesn't stop you from menstruating. I am sure it is all normal. I would not be worried unless you were in a lot of pain or if the amount of menstrual blood was over the top excessive.
