just over 4 years since I started this journey and I have to say it's had it's ups and downs but all in all it has been a good trip. I have become a new better me , better than I ever could have imagined.

Congratulations! One hopes that it can only get better with each passing day.

And you've almost hit the 110k mark in thread views as well.

Congratulations on both accounts.

many times I have thought how would my life have been different if I never had the surgery. I have always come to the conclusion that it would have involved a box and lots of worms...... Thank gawd I did it.

My journey is nearing 1year come feb it seams I have come to a point where change is so slow it seams non existence I was hoping to be more aware

Than I am at this point

Where there changes that took place to you that where undetected until

A much later date 1 ,2 or 3 years that you where able to look back

Or is there a period of adjustment that your body just dose some catch up

usually at a year you are done with the changes hormonally but unless you are on HRT or you excersize you will see continued weight gain.

do you still get hot flashes

i get them mostly when i get up from sleeping or resting

I have learned to consciously control my body temp but at night I tend to heat up a bit.

I heat up at night, BAD.

I freeze all day.

Congrats, Phil. You've hit the 111k+ mark in reads, probably the most famous thread in EA history!

Hope you have a lovely Holiday ... whichever one you celebrate.
