Guest guest Posted May 26, 2001 Report Share Posted May 26, 2001 Joann - I had a visit from Aunt Flo while in the hospital -- but then she didn't come visit again for a couple months. My periods were VERY irregular for many months post-op -- I think its normal after all the rearranging done to our bodies.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2001 Report Share Posted May 29, 2001 > Somebody mentioned Aunt Flo......I haven't heard anything at all from Aunt Flo. Is that normal? I thought that i was the only one that had happened to!! 12 weeks after surgery and I still havent had a visit. I hadn't had one for several months prior to my surgery, but I'd always heard that the weight plays havoc with hormones, and that once I was in the hospital and/or lost weight that they'd be back We'll, I just found out from my PCP that I am producing no progesterone and very little estrogen. Either it is weight related, and when I lose more weight they will return, or I've gone through menopause. I'm 48 so it could be the latter, but if so, then it happened without one single symptom (no hot flashes, no sleep disturbances, mood swings - nothing) I am perfectly happy with the way things are - so if I secretly went through the change, then yippie!!
