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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
