Menopause & bypass



Recommended Posts

One of the most amazing things for me is my menopause hot flashes and night sweats have dramatically decreased since my RNY!! I had a complete hysterectomy including ovaries in October and went in to immediate surgical menopause.. What a horrific experience. I had no idea it would be so hard and because I had cancer and a blood clotting disorder I could take NO hrt no hormones whatsoever not even bio identicals . Needless to say I was suffering miserably.. But since my surgery on May 21 my hot flashes are down from like 100 to 1-2 a day and night sweats which caused me to not sleep more than an hour have lessened so much I actually slept 5 straight hours!!!!! I haven't slept more than 2 since October!! What a blessing I just pray it continues lol anyone else have this happen???

I have noticed the same, I had a hysterectomy 2 yrs ago. A few weeks after I had intense hot flashed several times a day one after the other. I was put on premarin lowest dose, did not work, dosage increased 0.9 still did not work . Noticed my rather large stomach started getting jiggly, so I stopped. Even on premarin I slept all summer including the winter with a fan blowing on me, did help my husband as he is cold natured. I sweated under my breasts profusely, I could feel the sweat Rolling down. I am 19 dpo, immediately after surgery, I have not had to sleep with the fan on, sure my husband is happy. To be honest before surgery I could take a shower get out and dry myself and a few minutes later I was drenched with sweat. I think I had one few second hotflash, no sweating anymore. Yippee

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
