When they revised my hip-replacement last year they took it off in the OR and never put one back on and I didn't know it....oh my gosh was I a total mess!!! I was freaking out at everyone and crying all the time. Believe me the doctor remembered to put it back on next surgery (LOL)!
I think the weight gain is inevitable, it happened to me and also to people I know who aren't taking Estrogen.....take something out & get fat.....go figure! JEAN
Thought for the day: "SMILE" - It confuses people!

Subject: Re: hormones
Hi Sally, I saw my PCP yesterday and asked him the same thing. He said that estrogen would not make them grow. Since my hyst. 3 1/2 years ago, I have gained more weight than I care too and I told him I was considering trying something herbal. He said I really should stay on them because of the calcium thing. I'm not real clear on the connection there, I guess there might be some in my hormone pills?? Maybe someone can clarify this for me. With the hormone pills and all the other meds, I can't drop a single pound, even with exercise and an 1100 calorie a day meal plan. One of the prescriptions he told me could account for about 20 pounds or so. Jeez, I feel like a spayed animal-big, fat, and disgusted with my appearance. Sorry about the attitude, just not having a real good day hear. My non-existent ovaries are killing me! He SAID he took them out. Hmmm Makes ya wonder! Much Love, Lisa
