I wish I could see them online but have no info on that. I know it will most likely still be way out of range but I guess my real issue is that I don't think it is anything that would cause an issue during surgery. They also did an EKG and pulmonary functions and everything else looks fine. Just seems silly to me if I couldn't get weight-loss surgery because I have hypothyroidism...duh, lol

Thank you for replying, I am definately taking them now but I think part of the problem is I just saw on the bottle not to take it within 4 hours of taking Iron and I was taking it with a Multivitamin. The patient advocate said she has seen it cause people problems and that is why she was going to try and get clearance from a certain dr.

Well the week before last I went to my PNP and got lab work done and my TSH was 96.5 (Normal 1-5ish)! She said she is not sure how I am even moving around right now. What really sucks is my level was actually right on about 6-7 months ago on 274mcg of levothyroxine but my old PNP made a mistake and told me that I was Hypo again, but really my TSH number was low. So I decided to switch from levothyroxine to Armor Thyroid (60mg twice a day) and kept forgetting to take it regularly. Anyway True Results re-drew my thyroid levels yesterday and were supposed to call me back today to let me know what they were. They didn't and now they are closed until Monday morning and I am left worrying if I will even have surgery on Thursday. The real kicker is I started my preop diet today...as if this isn't hard enough! Anyone else had experience with True Results and high TSH levels? My patient advocate said she would still try to get it approved because the Dr. normally doesn't care as long as it's not something that will affect your actual surgery.

Thanks everyone for posting, will have some great options to start today and surgery Thursday

Hello everyone! I have been reading the forums over the last few days. I had my initial consultation with True Results on 5/24/12 and wasn't sure about insurance/financing at the time. I do have a new diagnosis of hypertension but didn't want to deal with insurance and jumping through hoops. So I the money is on its way now but I haven't scheduled the surgery yet. Can anyone give me feedback on True Results DFW (Richardson specifically). .I know people with the band but none that had their surgery there so just wondering what others have experienced with them. Thanks for reading! Misty
