Topic: RE: Hormones after gastric bypass.

Well I can't help you much.  I was in menapause and I found that allot of my normal symptoms ie: hot flashes, moodiness and night sweats were way down for the first 6 months.  Now they are all back ( my old friends ) and I am dealing with them by taking estrogen.  I remember them telling me that there was a connection between fat and estrogen...I think it is that fat tissue stores estrogen and when you start losing that your estrogen levels drop too.

Topic: RE: VIC Meeting

I think the topic might have had something to do with it (and some of the regulars were indisposed).  Both me and my daughter are signed up for the plastics one in June - I think there will be a great turn out for that one - I can't wait to see everyone :)

Topic: Day 1.

HI! I'm home! Surgery went 100% perfect according to Dr. Andrews!  Can't say I feel like a million bucks, but a couple hundred thousand maybe!  I feel a lot better than I was expecting to feel, that's for sure.

Surgery was at 11 am yesterday, so I was pretty much out of it for the rest of the day.  I don't recall much before, say, 6pm.  I didn't have a great night's sleep cause they were pumping me with fluids so much I had to pee every hour, almost on the hour and the exact same amount too! (they measure it for the first night). The staff at the Vic were simply amazing! Dr. Andrews and his assistant were AMAZING. Very thorough and answered all my questions! 

Just sore now.  Have some t 3's to tie me over for a few days.  Oh yes, and Jello. My new best friend!
