I'm 51 years old & started menopause after my birth control "essure" was removed at the age of 47. I sleep with the air conditioning on all seasons, I carry a fan around with me everywhere (restaurants, parties, movies, work, etc.). Night sweats and major hot flashes. Has anyone's body changed after VSG (menopause symptoms went away, got worse or stayed the same)? Trying to prepare myself - surgery date August 27th!

I went through menopause already and the night sweats and hot flashes were the only symptom I had BUT they were horrible and embarrassing. The one thing that I found that finally made them go away was Estroven. My sister just started getting them too and it has also helped her. It takes about two months to fully kick in. I'm still waiting to lose enough weight to be cold all the time though. I can't wait til that happens!

Thank you so much justmetj! When did you start taking them, before or after VSG?

Before VSG. I started going through menopause at 42. I'll be 50 in November.

I was already post-menopausal when I had surgery, but a lot of people are cold all the time after surgery. Even before they've lost much weight.

I was already in menopause before VSG and it hasn't changed anything. I don't have any symptoms. Well, actually I used to get some night sweats and come to think of it I haven't had any in about six months since surgery. Huh.

Estroven Double Strength was my life saver through menopause. The hot flashes and night sweats woke me up 10-20 times each night. I thought I would kill my whole family before I jumped off the bridge myself! costco is where I got it and used it twice a day for a while, then just in the evening.

That's exactly how mine were! I had serious doubts about the Estroven even working for me they were so bad, but it did 😊

Thank you for asking that question. I had a complete hysterectomy in 2010 at 38 years old. I am always hot. I keep my house at 65° all year round and also have a fan blowing directly on me at night. It seems by the responses that this has righted itself with some people who had the surgery. My family will be so happy to not live in an ice box.

I don’t have menopause yet but I sweat because of a medication I am on and post surgery I was hoping to be cold all the time but I still sweat ALOT. I don’t think it always helps.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
