I know this is a pregnancy forum but I was wondering if it's normal for you to not have a period after RNY? I didn't get mine. I am a week late and want to restart birth control but you are supposed to wait till the Sunday after your period. Maybe I should just call the GYN? Any help here?

I assume that you have already made sure that your not pregnant...right? If so then it couldn't hurt to call your Dr. They may want you to wait or give you something to get your cycle started so you c an get back on track. Hope that helps. P&PT's.

Just be really careful with your birth control post op.  A lot of us become very fertile after losing even just 40 pounds and can get pg even on birth control pills (our malabsorption makes the pill less effective).   That's why you need 2 forms of birth control while you are trying to lose all your weight and at least for a year post op.    There's been many women who get pg just a few months out of surgery just using the pill or condoms- so be very careful!!!  Make sure you aren't pg first and then get on something asap!

Hit goal weight of 140 at 13 months out from RNY!! 130 pounds GONE!

Leah - You're not allowed to start your B****il after your 6 WEEK appointment because of blood clots!  Call the surgeon to check for sure, but I had to wait that long....good luck.  Remember your body is freaking out probably right now....

Can't remember when I started after surgery but I do know everything was out of wack from surgery. Good luck with all of this and like someone else already said. Make sure you use 2 forms, Hubby and I used the pill and condoms and never had a problem. Well, other than him complaining about have to wear the raincoat. LOL
