Guest guest Posted November 8, 2002 Report Share Posted November 8, 2002 Help All: Just got the surprise of my life yesterday. Am 51, did not have a period for almost 1.5 yrs pre WLS, & ( have not had my period in 2.5 years.) WLS Sept. 01, and TT/LBL July 02. Have lost a total of 101lbs. I had a bit of discomfort, felt like 'ovulating' (almost forgot what that felt like!) over two weeks ago. I went to the Gyn, and she said my uterus was swollen, sonogram scheduled for next week. Then...I get my period yesterday!!! Am scheduled for an endometrial biopsy next tues & sonogram next wed. I've heard a lot about the excess estrogen released after large weight losses, plus the reconstructive surgery & panni removal. Would like to know if anyone has, or has heard of anyone getting a 'period' after menopause? Of course, my thinking is wandering towards real scary diagnoses'. And....now that I've lost all my weight, am a size 8, am feeling, geez, sure.....now that you're where you want to be in life, you get this major mess to deal with!! Help!
