Guest guest Posted April 12, 2001 Report Share Posted April 12, 2001 Jodie, I was on the tail end of my period when I had my surgery. I didnt end up having another period well over a month later. The surgery didnt effect mine and make it any longer or make me have another one sooner. I was expecting another one right away, but obviously we all are different and our bodies react differently. So dont worry. Congrats on the weight loss!!! Post-op 2/6/01 Dr K Before 321 lbs Now 272 lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps your period will come at it's 'regularly scheduled time'.... if it still doesn't appear then, you may feel better about seeing your ob/gyn, but I'd wait another month... I've skipped periods before or had extended ones (mine really never was regular and quite extended).

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2001 Report Share Posted April 12, 2001 < > Jodi, the surgery had no impact on my cycle, but I am on birth control pills which regulates me pretty well. My period came when it was supposed to, which was about three weeks post-op. I would guess that the loss of an ovary may affect your cycle, particularly if it was due to ovulate next, you may get to skip a cycle (which to my " done with childbearing " mind is a good thing!)
