Brief Answer:
Please provide more details

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,

Thanks for your question and sorry for delayed reply.
To answer your question specifically I want some more information.

As menses is related to hormones and in turn to weight of the person, I need to know your height, weight before and after surgery/current weight with duration of surgery done.

Mostly gastric sleeve surgery mostly done to treat obesity, I want to know if there is any other indication in your case.

Duration of menses you have mentioned, can you tell dates of 2 periods before surgery and all period’s date after surgery.

Do you have any physical illness/past gynecological problem?

History of pregnancy.

Waiting for your reply

Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
