Topic: WLS and estrogen
Has anyone in their experience with WLS had the surgery throw them into perimenopause? I'm 41.
I've had menopausal symptoms and been going back and forth to doctors regarding the symptoms trying to get relief. The worst of the symptoms are the constant migraines and insomnia.
Any thoughts? What did you do?
It took almost a month but my doctor gave me an estrogen patch and didn't run any FSH test or anything on me. I saw a gyn yesterday and she wants me off the patch for 2 weeks and then get a level. But she treated me as if I was taking her time for just migraines. I seriously doubt vaginal dryness has anything to do with headaches LOL.
Please reply. Thanks.

Topic: Guess What....I'm at goal
Ok, I'm trying to write and my hands and body are shaking, I'm besides myself today...4 days shy of my 9 month anniversary and I'm below goal...boy did Dr. W. have a smile on his face, heck we both did
. We took a picture together and I'm going to try to post it to my profile tonight (hope it came out good, one of the nurses used my camera to take it). Dr. Wongsa asked me to send him a copy too.
He could not say enough good things about my progress today...he just kept thanking me for being compliant and told me I'm the model patient and a true success, talk about bring tears to my eyes. I thanked him many times for giving me my life back and I truly believe he did give me my life back. All of my success goes to Dr. Wongsa and God, no way would I be where I am today without either of them in my life.
I'm probably rambling on here, don't know what to say, I'm just so excited.
Hugs,
Dana
