I would like to hear your comments and stories on how losing the weight reflects on post menopause…I am done with all the symptoms, only thing that stayed with me is lack of concentration and foggy mind.  I never had night sweats, but hot flashes OMG all the time. I sure hope the period is not coming back, I was done with it for almost 10 years.

Thank you everyone, I love reading all the other stories/questions, it is almost addictive, but so real and to the point.

It has not been an issue. I think we still get some effects of the hormones that were stored in the fat we have. As these are released you may have some hot flashes. Right about now I am always so cold a few hot flashes would be welcome

I had a complete hysterectomy 10 years ago, and didn't have any hot flashes.  Now after surgery, I certainly know what a hot flash is, followed by a cold flash.  I keep a down vest beside me in the house, always putting it on, whipping it off.  Fortunately the weight loss is just as good as before menopause.

I think I am peri menopausal.  I haven't had a period in 10 months and loving it.  I don't look forward to possibly getting it back after the surgery.

It is hard to lose the weight.  I also am on insulin and glyburide so wham, it's like fighting a losing battle!

I was post menopause and had no problems post surgery. Weight loss was slower than for others but I attribute that to age and my insulin resistance. Two years out and just due to have my hormones tested. I think my testosterone might be down.
