My surgery was on 4/6/04 and my period is not coming. I am definetely not pregnant. Is it because of weight loss?

Ira, How ironic! I started my period less than 2 weeks after surgery and am still bleeding (3 weeks later). My doc says that it is not uncommon for our cycles to be messed up after this surgery for about 6 months. Our hormones are stored in our fat cells and as we lose weight, they are being released. Therefore, our cycles get messed up. Hope this helps. If you are concerned, call your doc. Ronda

I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT NORMAL IS BUT I STARTED MY PERIOD THE DAY BEFORE MY SURGERY. I AM FOUR WEEKS OUT AND GUESS WHO CAME TO VISTED? MY PERIOD. I HAD A PERIOD MAYBE FOUR TIMES A YEAR BUT NOT IT LOOKS LIKE MY WEIGHT IS CAUSING IT TO STABLIZE.I HATE IT
