Sara- I was regular for 10 years (9yrs old-19 yrs old) and then became irregular when I started putting on weight. I had to take medicine to even have a period which of course I didn't do so I would go several years without a period. I might spot some, but that was it. I had spotting about two weeks after surgery and then in late November...BOOM! It hit me BIG TIME!!! I had a very heavy period but it lasted exactly 5 days like it used to when I was regular. In December I had another one right on time that was heavy a few days but nothing like November. I had another one in January so I am now convinced that I am back to normal. It may be that your body is trying to regulate itself, but the doctor can give you pills to make you start. I was warned by my doctor that you can end up bleeding and having to have a D&C to stop it if you go too long without a period. I would see your doctor but I don't think what you're experiencing is anything to be too concerned about. Good Luck! Natalie 281/199/125

HI LAKEEA, MY #IS 610-284-7489 AS FAR AS THE CHEESE CAKE, IT IS SOFT AND IT WILL GO DOWN EASY. YOUR SURGERY DID NOT FAIL YOU. YOUR TUMMY IS STILL SMALL. HOW EVER WHAT IN THE (#?;.'?#) WORLD ARE YOU DOING EATING (CHEESE CAKE) YOUR MINE IS PLAING HEAD GAMES WITH YOU. YOU MUST USE SELF-CONTROL. THE SURGERY IS JUST A TOOL TO HELP YOU. IT'S NOT GOING TO STOP YOU FROM EATING. IF YOU HAVE A WEAKNESS IN SOME FOODS LIKE ME , THEN DON'T BRING IT IN THE HOUSE. DON'T LET YOUR BODY OR THE HEAD GAMES WIN. EAT SMALL, NO SWEETS,NO COOKIES,NO SODAS, NO BREADS, AND MOST OF ALL PRAY. PRAY TO GOD FOR SELF-CONTROL. PRAY BEFORE YOU EAT IT AND PRAY BEFORE YOU BRING IT IN TO YOUR HOME. THIS IS YOUR LIFE. AND I KNOW YOU WANT TO LIVE,AND BE HEALTHY.SO FAR YOU THINK YOU LOST 11 OR 15LBS. WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS REMOVE THE SCALE FROM YOUR HOUSE GIVE IT TO SOME ONE IN YOUR FAMILY. I DIDN'T WEIGH MY-SELF, FOR FOUR MONTHS.IT'S TO STRESSFUL TO SEE MY SELF LOSSING 1LB. HEAR AND THERE.SO PLEASE HANG IN THERE AND GIVE YOUR SELF 3 MONTHS THEN WEIGH YOURSELF. SPRING IS COMING AND THE COATS HAVE TO COME OFF. SO I HOPE AND PRAY THAT THE BOTH OF US WILL BE READY FOR THIS. TAKE CARE AND CALL ME . ROBIN

Yes I have had irregular cycles since I can remember. I would go months without one and then all of a sudden I would have one. I didn't have one for about 6 months and the day before my surgery I started....talk about being mad. I started having cycles every month until December. I didn't have one in January and then about the 12 of this month I started spotting just like you are. I also want to know if this is normal. Sorry about not being any help I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I was also told that it was weight related so I don't know what to think now. Well anyway congradulations on the weight loss!!!!! Mary

Hi Lia, I am glad you are seeing your doctor because the sooner you take care of it the better. I did not have an infection, but a freind of mine had an open RNY and she had and infection. It took some time, but it healed and she is totally fine. Don't worry I am sure the doc will take care of it and everything will be ok Hugs, Sara 356/278/175

CONGRATS I'm happy for you Sara!! I'm sure you will do great ~Jae 275/204/175
