Thanks hun but I went through the menopause 17 years ago!Had no flushes till surgery.Ive read it could be the oestrogen in the fat cells being released and it should settle.Bloody hope so!Maz x

Hi Maz I have noticed exactly the same problem and have started having hot flushes for the last six weeks or so. I thought it was my imagination to begin with but nope they are definately back.

Can I ask how young you are Beth hun?

Same here. I had the whole lot - hot flushes, night sweats etc. Seems to have calmed down a little in the last week.

I have heard about this Maz but dont know the science behind it.

I know its not the same but a lady I know had a bypass and lost about 10 stone in 1 year.. anyway she's late 40s and has crashed into the menopause! Her doctor said she has gone into it so rapidly because of her weight loss so she is having a tough time of it. It defo effects your hormones and mine are a mess anyway so will be interesting to see what answers you get on this.

Hope it passes soon for you hun x

Im sure its the hormones in the fat being released during weightloss. after all I have read today it sounds the most likely culprit!Maz x

Is it when you have eaten? Because i get them if i eat too much sugar. However fat does store estrogen therefore when you loose weight the estrogen sort of jumps round the body a bit till you are able to get rid of it xx
