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. Stephanie

Not me...and man, I hope it does not happen either...ugh....Hope you find out what it is and you start to feeling better! Take care, Ann

I was on estrogen before my WLS because I had a hysterectomy 4 years earlier. But I can tell you that the symptoms you mentioned have become more prominent since surgery, even with taking hormones for this long. Especially the sleeping pattern changes. What I would do to be able to sleep in again. I used to be a night owl, but because I can't sleep in past about 830 am, I am tired and have a need to get to bed much earlier. I guess I wasn't really any help here... But please know that you are not alone. Hugs, Susan
