Anyone diagnosed with a Prolactinoma tumor pre or post-op?

Since having Open RNY in January, I have had only one period and have been lactating in both breasts. I stopped nursing my daughter over a year ago after an unsuccessful two week attempt. I didn't think too much about either of the symptoms as my surgeon said that after this type of major surgery your body gets "confused". However, I came across a previous post in the library that mentioned that these symptoms are sometimes caused by a benign tumor of the pituitary gland. I did some research on the web which confirmed that these are classic symptoms of a Prolactinoma (pituitary gland tumor). I can't get into my ob/gyn for another week so I was hoping to be able to get info from someone else who has been through this. P.S. I am not yet panicking as it seems that this type of tumor isn't life threatening...just a bit of a nuisance which requires medication to control. Thanks for listening!
