Re: surgery tomorrow. forgot to ask my Dr when I will get hormone patch.
Hollyluya,
I will be wearing an estrogen patch Vivelle 0.1 dose when I go into surgery. Will be watched for severe meno. symptoms in hospital but will continue on patch and be followed up 4 wks post-surgery w/gyn to tweak hrt plans. Surgeon says vaginal estrogen 6weeks out (soonest) then continuing in order to maintain integrity of repairs to vagina/bladder/rectum.
Good luck and just ask for advice/help with troubling hormone disturbance as you would for pain relief so you can heal readily. HRT is flexible type/dose/length of treatment.
Thoughts & prayers are with you tomorrow, Hollyluya

Re: surgery tomorrow. forgot to ask my Dr when I will get hormone patch.
Also want to mention that I am very interested in eating mindfully and taking mineral & vitamin and other supllements to help my body heal and be stable. GYN & Psych. recommend calcuim, magnesium, zinc, flax & fish oils, B complex, etc for me. As you already know, hrt is only a part of what we can do to promote our own wellness. Now if I can just reduce stress...exercise more and.... ;-)
You will be a new woman in 2011!! Good luck and best wishes!!! See you later in the week...

Yes, that is exactly what I am taking and also vitamin D. This surgery has made me re evaluate my health habits and I really am planning on being brand new for the New year! Thanks much for the encouragement... hope to be back from the castle real soon. Talk to you then!
