  1. Hello, I'm a 41yr old female who weighs 185lbs & 5'1" I've been diagnosed with Hashimoto's in 2015 & currently taking Levothyroxine. HBP - not currently taking any medications as it seems the times I've been to the dr, it's been brushed off. Had an Echocardiogram done a few weeks ago it showed "diastolic dysfunction with a normal ejection fraction" I'm still waiting on my rheumatologist, who ordered the test to get in touch with me regarding this. PCOS SLE LBP SI joint pain My highest weight was right under 200lbs when I was dx'd with Hashimoto's last year Is there anyone else who had similar height/weight who were approved for VGS? If so, how much weight were you able to lose & are you happy with your decision? Thanks to anyone who take the time to respond

    Under 200lbs & want the VGS

    Thanks for responding! I did go for the information seminar this week as one of the requirements to begin the process. From what I understand, my BMI & co-morbidities could get me the surgery, but ultimately, it would be up to the physician at UNC Chapel Hill & my insurance company. I forgot to add that I do have sleep Apnea too.
