Will RNY help with Hot Flashes??

 Had full hysterectomy last year and got thrown face first into Menopause!  Hot Flash city!  Anyone have any experience with this.  Will getting some of the extra weight off help?

I can't speak for everybody, but it turns out nearly ALL of my hot flashes were from the weight!   I haven't had any since RNY.   None!   No sweating and beet red face in crowds of people.  What a relief!

Best of luck to you!

I was the same. Menopause overnight...Did not help with hot flashes. Just had my estrogen upped and they are far and few between now. Good luck!!

I had a full hysterectomy in Dec of last year, and went into menopause - which was expected since they took my ovaries.  I have used the estrogen patch as well as a cream, together and separately.  Hot flashes are better after losing the weight, but you still might need some estrogen - if nothing else than to help with calcium absorption.

 Thanks everyone!  I have to watch my Estrogen as my sister has an estrogen fed breast cancer, so I can only have a little and then need to try and get off of it.  I sure hope shedding 100 lbs will help.  I'm tired of sweating!  And I know people don't entirely "get it" and think I'm just sweating because I'm heavy!

Now if I can just get approval and a surgical date.  I meet with Dr Benn on the 11th!
