weight gain
Hey ladies!
I had a vaginal, laparoscopic hysterectomy Nov.1 & have gained about 5 pounds since then. I haven't changed my eating habits so I wondered if this was common? Also, what is the typical weight gain if it is?
Otherwise I'm doing well.
I had endometriosis & fibroids which I somewhat controlled with birth control pills for about 24 years. Then I got blood clots from the Ortho Evra Patch. So the only thing left was a hysterectomy. I still have my ovaries, but will not be able to take hormones later on.
Will I still experience menopause & if so what should I expect? Obviously I no longer have the period part thank goodness.
Thanks!
