  1. Sleeved on 12/23. I was on a break from my doctoral studies. I started back up on the 1st. I am having a hard time getting back in the swing of school. I assume it is residual anesthesia and healing. Did anyone delay school after sleeving? Not sure if I should take a break or knuckle through.
  2. Has anyone undergone a sleeve that has Hashimoto's thyroiditis? I have been diagnosed for 7years. Never fully under control. How did you weight loss journey go? I don't eat serious amounts of food and concerned weight loss will be marginal.

    Hypothyroid & sleeve

    I have a puny thyroid. On Synthroid 150mcg and Cytomel 25mcg. I have lost 45 lbs since 12/23. It has really slowed down the last month.

  6. I am out 9 weeks and down 35lbs. In the last month my hips have started bothering me walking and during sex. I never had issues preop and my activity is at the same level. Anyone else have postop ortho issues?

    Blurry vision?

    My anesthesiologist said the Scopolamine patch would make me blurry for a few days and it did.

    How long do you wait to drink after eating?

    30 minutes after the meal is my doctors order. Sometimes I take a few sips if I feel thirsty.

    Dry Lips

    Ok. The iron and more fluids did not help me. I am headed to the store today to try the avocado oil. Any other suggestions. They are starting to be bloody.
