Ongoing Period..ick
I've always had really light periods & 2-3 days at most (probably why I had such a hard time getting pregnant). Well this is getting ridiculous, 40 days post op and my period hasn't stopped yet. Still light but constant. The Dr said it was ok, and just a result of my body trying to normalize itself, But REALLY??? 40 days and still going...
Surely this has to stop soon?!?!?!

Yes, I had an IUD put in pre surg, because we decided one I was too old to have another at 45, but also I didn't want an accident just after WLS. So I had the one mth F/up with her and she said the same thing, that is was just my body reacting to the chg in hormones and the surgery in general.
Im just over it...

I've heard of these types of things happening, but my monthly's didn't change. Of course I "started" the morning of the surgery, which I heard is also common. Lasted just the normal amount of time.
If you're concerned ask your GYN. Better safe than sorry.

I was also lucky enough to start the morning of surgery. Surprisingly, it was a little lighter and shorter. I imagine this month will make up for that.

Have stopped losing pounds but am losing inches!
I would call the gynecologist. But I bet it is normal. We store Hiromones in our fat cells. So losing the weight is putting more estrogen out there which is causing the bleeding. Just probably hormonal fluctuations. But call to be safe!

Spot, sorry for you... but also a bit relieved to know Im not the only one, that's always a scary place to be.
The ironic thing for me was it was my hope by getting the IUD in, I would never have another period again, no such luck, lol
