Re: weight gain - natural hormones

[Guest guest]

Donna, I take natural hormones that my doctor prescribes and my insurance pays

for it. It's done as a compound and he just write the rx for the compound that

I need. I can even get it thru my mail order rx company. Does you doctor

prescribe natural hormones at all? I hope this might help you some.

Take care,

Subject: weight gain

Dianne,

I can relate to the weight gain. I had the BI-pass surgery in April of 99

and lost from 250 to 116lbs. I maintained that weight and had no problems

then I had a complete hysterectomy in August of 2001 and since I had that I

have gained 20lbs. I tried to talk to my DR. about the weight gain and was

blown off. Last appt with the gyno I ask to have my estrogen patch level to

be lowered and the cravings stop and I feel that the weight gain has maybe

subsided. I take two medications that cause weight gain the estrogen patch

and effexor and it really ticks me off. IF they can manipulate things with

pills what can't they develop one that has no weight gain.

I know there are natural estrogen and progesterone stuff available at the

health stores but I haven't look into it to much because insurance doesn't

cover it. Hope this helps in any way.
