Hi. I'm 30 and had to have a complete hysterectomy at age 28. 6 months ago I was told to stop my HRT, so Basiclly I'm going thru menopause (I assume). Does this put a damper on weight loss. Will I see weight loss a lot slower? Anyone else know the effects of hormones on surgery?

I stopped them about 6 months ago due to increase in bp and the nephrologist said it can contribute to my already really high pressures .

I am 50 and have been on hormones about 4 years. I did not have to stop them. I would have literally begged on my knees not to stop them had I needed to. I suggest you do the same. I also read stopping them then starting, or maybe just stopping, can cause Hair loss.

I had to stop taking mine before the surgery. Within 2 months I was having very frequent hot flashes which I had never had before. They make you stop taking hormones because it increases the chance of blood clots. Two weeks ago I asked if I could go back on them and the surgeon agreed to let me take them. I'm 5 mos post op. Usually he waits until 6 mos, but he thought I was far enough out. The hot flashes are better, but unfortunately they have not gone away completely yet.

Once you are back on hormones for a short while the hot flashes will stop.

I'm a little older (42) and had a total hysterectomy last summer, which delayed my WLS until last Dec. I can't have HRT, because I had cancer, so I'm not sure if it's slowing down my weight loss or not. I don't have a choice in the matter and I'm losing, so that's good!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
