My Drs NUT had a form letter. Basically I said that I have been overweight 33 years ( more descriptive than saying since I was 6) and I specified the 3 times I lost a significant amount of weight ( over 50lbs) and how long it took me to regain it and more each time.

As long as you take your medicine and do your bloowork to keep checking on your thyroid it should have no ill effect,

Hi there. My name is Dana and I am 39. I just made my first appt for a VSG. Here is some info about me. I am a SAHM mom to 3 kids under 6 all with special needs. My BMI is 0ver 41, but I do no habe any comorbities. My DH had LapBand last year and he is getting it removed and getting a VSG too. I need to live as long as I can to care for my kids. I know I can do this, and I have to. I have never believed in weight loss surgery, but, I am at a point where I realize that I need the help. I can do the work I just need the support. I am hoping that I can get the surgery before year end, but we shall see. Anyway, thnk you for all the info I have found here. It has helped a lot!!
