I haven't done the surgery yet however I will be traveling internationally for 10 days exactly 2 months post op. I've been really looking forward to the trip. Has anyone traveled 2 months post op? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgery date is on Friday 13th (trying not to be superstitious). Is anyone scheduled on the same day? Looking for a buddy/mentor Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm really thinking of the same thing and freaking out. I mean should I sort out everything in case something happens? I haven't been able to sleep a full night since I found out my surgery date! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have hyperthyroidism but my t3 and t4 levels are normal so every doctor I've been to has been baffled. I took the medication for 2 months and nothing improved so I stopped and my symptoms are back full throttle. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@ashroyb I'm the same. I'm waiting on my approval however my doctor informed they would have to remove the gallbladder because of stones that would cause bigger problems down the road. Worried about the pain and recovery time! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Has anyone had it removed at the same time the sleeve was being done? Cuz that's what my doctor wants to do Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Feeling really depressed was scheduled to do the surgery on the 19th of March however my blood work and ultrasound didn't have good results. It turns out my TSH level is 0.01 which means I have hyperthyroidism but I'm the 5% that gains weight instead of losing. Also my gallbladder has stones in them so the doctor wants me to stay on medication for 3 weeks and then retest my tsh level. The doctor then said he'd remove the gallbladder the same time. Has anyone done the sleeve and gallbladder removal at once? Any feedback/things to know? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I work in HR I still haven't done the surgery but I can only take 2 weeks off. My job is very demanding sometimes I'm all over the place with constant meetings and I'm worried I won't be able to cope Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

March 14th or 19th will know on Tuesday. Really worried and hoping I don't chicken out! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
