Was it my period?????

Hello~ I has an RNY about 5 weeks ago and I am down a total of 45# yesterday I posted a reply to a link that I got my period but today it was gone, so with one day of bleeding is that just spotting or what?????????? Thanks,

Thanks for your reply!!  Okay so here goes mine--- I had the weirdest spotting episodes too the first few months after surgery.  Then at about 5 months post op I had periods that lasted 3-4 days at most!  Well for the past 17 months it's been that way and ya know what happened to me sister!!  :)

It's not a real period, in that you probably haven't ovulated.  But I understand we will have lots of spotting episodes some long (a couple of weeks) and some shorter.  I think it has to do with the estrogen stored in our fat cells being released with fat loss.  Sorry I don't have a more scientific answer.  I have yet to find a doctor who can explain it better.
