Regular...Irregular? Just how is your monthly visitor since surgery?!?!

I have to laugh every time I hear the reasoning behind why or why not a "fat" women, may or may not get her period! The answer...as always, has something to do with being "fat"!! I wonder what the Dr. tells thin women when they miss a period? I wasn't regular a day in my life before I had this surgery. Now when the 28th of the month comes around I am like clock work....only this time (since surgery) I am bleeding so heavily...and the cramps are excrutiating!! I questioned my Dr. about it...and he said I am more regular now because of the rapid weightloss...and the cramping has to do with the amount of estrogen my body is getting rid of!! OIY VEY!!! I tell ya...it always has something to do with my weight. So...it looks to me like some of you are skipping a period...and some of us are more regular since surgery..but either way, I guess it all comes down to the weight thing once again. Just got a chuckle out of some of the posts I have read concerning our periods. Sometimes I think Dr.'s quickly like to say things are related to our weight instead of examining further to see if anything else is developing to cause problems in our reproductive organs. Just my thoughts, what are some of your thoughts?
