Menopause, hot flashes, aches and pains.



Recommended Posts

Just wondering if those who have already had the surgery and lost some weight notice any difference in flashes or general aches and pains? I have hot flashes that feel like a volcano is living inside of me. Sweat beads up at my hairline and face - even under my eyes! Horrible visual, I know...sorry. I am hoping the weight loss will alleviate some of the back, hip and shoulder pain I have and maybe even some of the heat I generate in this big 'ol body of mine.

Aww I'm sorry you are going thru this. Most people vent about the opposite. They are always so cold. Hope things improve

Thank you! I have not had surgery yet. I was wondering if the surgery helps to get rid of some of the above symptoms. I am hoping that I will be one of the ones that feels cold! :)

Hi, try Estroven. It's natural, over the counter and you can buy it at walgreens or any Walmart ir GNC. It helps with all your hot, heat flashes and everything else for menopause, peri or post. They even have a weight loss version. Will try to insert a pic. Good luck.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
