I had my VSG on 8/12. I had a few days of a mild fever post op. Ever since I’ve been having terrible hot flashes and sweating. I’m 49. Could it be a coincidence and menopause started at the same time I had surgery, or is this possible surgery related? Anyone else experience this?

Fat cells store estrogen which gets released as you burn the fat. Especially during the early months of very high weight loss, you can experience lots of hormonally-driven issues: hot flashes, mood swings, irregular periods, the works. It will even out as time passes.
