Hormone Grehlin Also Responsible For Memory?

What was the question again?

No really, I haven't noticed any memory loss. In fact I was much more of a scatterbrain during my pregnancies than I am now.

I've noticed memory loss. I'm usually very good with remembering things and keeping lists etc;

I tried to remember tje best way home from my brother's house tonight and my head seemed foggy. I get the stupids too. I've done some really dumb stuff.

Since this topic came up again, I think there's a little confusion. In obese people there is an elevated level of ghrelin which increases incidences of memory loss. Memory loss is because too much ghrelin, not too little. You should see better memory, not worse after surgery...which is what most have said they have experienced .

I know this isn't funny-- but my response was-- maybe but I can't remember!

Where did you get this information? I have read other articles about the link of increasing ghrelin in lab mice, increasing memory. Yours was the first post I have seen that said the opposite. Can you provide a source?

That being said, I haven't really noticed a loss or gain either way. I still forget things but before surgery I was putting it to "old age"....but I really don't think it is much different than any one else. I was glad that I didn't have some type of obvious memory loss or I probably wouldn't be able to do my job....I have to keep a lot in my head! Almost 3 months out and it is a non-issue.

Only thing I have trouble remembering is to eat and drink. Otherwise, I actually feel a bit sharper post-op.

I have hashimoto's hypothyroidism which tends to make it so that my short term memory is not so good. There are times when I can't even recall what I did that same morning. I can't say that after VSG this has gotten worse even though my hypothyroidism has gotten worse. So perhaps VSG is helping to even out the decrease in thyroid function memory issues.

Glad this post was bumped! I'm 6 months out and haven't noticed a decrease or an increase. I am about the same.
