Mature adult women and WLS

You know how WLS surgery can make women more fertile? Well in women who are perimenopausal or in menopause WLS can make those pesky symptoms WORSE!!!! Not that I'm irritable or crabby about it, and I could just burst into tears about it but I can't right now since I'm too busy trying to cool off with a hot flash! What was I saying? Oh, yeah, because I'm so forgetful due to trouble sleeping and feeling anxious. Just because I'm working hard to loose weight and the increase of estrogen can cause weight gain! I don't have mood swings about it though but if I sneeze or cough hard enough I'll be embarrassed I wet my pants. But I caution you don't come to close to me because of all the gas and being so bloated.

I just had to pass the good news on.

Dang Shell...   Get some sleep lady. Sounds like you can use it. Have a great Holiday.

 Oops! Menopause is bad enough normally! Glad I got mine out of the way pre-wls!! But a nasty thought to leave you with - I still, aged 61 and long past th menopause, , get hot flushes ( flashes to you, not a typo!).

Know a lot about it.  Did not stop cycle til 54.  Still have night sweats but never really had flashes or flushes.  Oh and the cough pee and/or poot just comes with maturity.  We have earned certain rights.  LOL
