First off congrats on your surgery. Secondly it sounds like you may have PMDD and you need to see an OB/GYN for this. PMDD is an extreme version of PMS. Since you mentioned that you have breakthrough bleeding with your pill you may not be absorbing enough of it for it to be as effective as it needs to be. I know you're not into an IUD but have you thought about the NuvaRing? It's as effective as the pill, one ring per month, and since it's not involving your digestive system (it absorbs through the tissues in the vaginal/cervical area) it's more effective for women who've had the RNY surgery. Another thing to remember is that estrogen is stored in fat cells and as you loose weight this hormone is released in greater amounts than normal which can also lead to increased PMS symptoms as well as funky periods (timing & flow wise).

Please come and join us on the WLS Divas thread located on the Diet & Exercise Buddies forum.
