weight loss and menepause

Here's a question, I am down 120 pounds since my Lap Band 18 months ago  My hormones have been going crazy this month, maybe because I turned 45..  Could it be menopause, the beginning of it?

Or is it just a mid life female crisis, my family is getting the worst of it. 


Any one else experiencing big hormone shifts?

For two years I didn't have hot flashes or night sweats.......2 months after surgery they start again.....talked with the nurse at the surgeons office and she tells me that hormones are stored in your fat cells.....as you lose weight the hormones are released into your body and cause havoc...."my fat cells are shrinking"........is my personal mantra now.

Since I don't know what your hormones are doing and I'm not a doctor I suggest you check with your doctor to be on the safe side.

Congrats on the 120 pound loss!
