The bleeding you're having is not really a "period" since you have no uterus. Once your uterus is removed, periods stop. So you are having vaginal bleeding with an unknown cause, and that needs to be explored. I hope you'll return to the surgeon as soon as possible to discuss the matter. You should not be bleeding vaginally at all.

I'm sorry that I can not respond to private emails. All private emails received will be ignored. I regret that the recent increase in volume precludes a polite redirection.
