Topic: RE: Hot Flashes????
hi paula- i was about 2 years post menopause when i had my surgery and at first was convinced that the rny had cured my hot flashes as they were gone- however, just lately i have been waking up several times a week with the dreaded flashes again- i called my gyno and she said hot flashes can go on for years and that the surgery probably just shook things up again- not much we can do about them unless we go on hrt which i don't want to do-
i must say though that i am freezing all the time now post-op and the occasional hot flash seems almost a relief-
good luck-

Topic: Hot Flashes????
Has anyone experienced hot flashes since surgery? I am 1.5 years menopausal and all of a sudden a couple of months ago, I started having hot flashes again!! Talk about miserable.... Does it have anything to do with the weight loss? I have lost 87 pounds since surgery and 99 since orientation. Will the flashes stop when the weight stabilizes?

Connie,
We have the same surgery date!!! Isn't this surgery wonderful!! I started at 300, I am now at 183, for a loss of -117 so far, with about 25lbs left to go until goal. I am soo thrilled with this, and with the health issues that have cleared up. No more bp, no more high sugar, and my acid reflux is gone completely. I have gone from a 28 to a 14 and life is really good.

Hi,
I too am 7 mos post op and I have gone from a whopping size 28 to a sizze 18W with over 100lbs lost. I am so excited about myself that I find myself looking in the windows of stores when I pass and in the windows of the train when I ride. I look totally different than I did before. My daughter asked me....ma what's wrong with your neck, my husband said to her those are her bones. Girl I never knew they were up there around my shoulders, lol.
I know that I could be much smaller than I am now but when I look back over where I was and where I am..........I am totally satisfied and Bless GOD everyday that he brought me this far.
Take care!
