Our journey is slightly different after 50 and I thought it would be a great thing to start a group that dealt with issues 50+. Feel free to come join the group. No one will be excluded but it is going to be a majority of 50+ journeys. Pre and Post op are welcome and would love to have some Veterans too! Here is the link to the group:

I'd like to join, but it looks like this is not a secret group-correct?

I have a question for all of you regarding horomone replacement. Did you stop taking it after surgery? I was put on it last November and it has cause spotting every month and that was the one good thing about being menopausal! I don't like it and think I'm going to stop it and wondered if all the hormone changes with surgery makes a difference?

I haven't been through menopause yet but when I do I plan on using bio identical. I can't see why it would be a bad thing as it's a natural hormone in our bodies already.

Thanks for the response. I hear a lot of changes happen after surgery and wonder if it will be even necessary.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
