Bio-identical hormone therapy



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone just thought I'd start in this forum since some of you are probably taking hormones. I just wanted to know if anyone is on the Sottopelle hormone therapy(hormone pellets). I am suppose to have them implanted on the 20th and I was wondering if anyone has any information to share.

Do you want this posted in the Women's room? It's okay to have it here, but the powder room gone wild is visited frequently by the women on the board and you could have it there too.

I have the vivelle dot patch and I take prometrium capsules too. I have not heard of what you're talking about.

Im very interested in this. I know I need to have the talk with my Dr. These pellets look like a good choice. I would like to hear more about how you choose them and how it is working for you. Care to share?

Hey Amanda~ I really don't know much at this point, I'm having them implanted March 20th. My doctor just recommended them because my hormones are so low and I refuse synthetic ones. My doctor is the only one in my area implanting them and he went to Arizona to learn the procedure. I read some info and I'll share the websites with you.

They are suppose to make you have more energy, lose weight easier, build muscle tone, etc. I'm willing to try it , dr. said if I don't like them I don't have to have them implanted anymore. Depending on the individual they need to be implanted every 4-6 months the first year, maybe less after that. The procedure suppose to be painless(?). They make a tiny slit in the fatty part of your hip and insert the pellets and use the little strips to close the slit. I'll know more friday and update.

Thanks for responding.

That seems like a lot of work to keep implanting them. I have a patch that I change twice a week and it's bioidentical as well.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
