Sure would like that [emoji1303]

Thank you I shall look into keto thank you so much [emoji1303]

I’m so glad I didn’t have to lose because I would not be scheduled for surgery since I actually gained while going through the whole process. But I can advice you to try Keto diet. It works so well and you don’t have to ever be hungry there’s just little wiggle room for mistakes and little variety but if you stick to meats no dressing no rice Pasta fruit starchy veg bread or juice then you’ll lose. I always lost tons of weight on it but I couldn’t keep it off as soon as I ate reg food even in moderation.

Wow, your insurance needs a lesson on Hashimoto's!! Hang in there!

Yes not gaining is a amazing!!! good luck

And Good Luck to both of you. Never thought about it before but it must be like being in a marching band with an artificial leg, it can be done but awfully hard. Keep on girls,it will be worth the work😝

I have Hashimoto's and it is impossible to lose weight BUT thankful I finally stopped gaining! Also hoping that the surgery will reset everything and that I will lose weight!

I am in the same boat as you. I had a total thyroidectomy about 5 years ago and have been on Synthroid since. I swear that even taking fake thyroid hormone is nothing like having a real working thyroid. It is nearly impossible to lose any weight since the thyroid regulates all metabolism in the body and with no thyroid, metabolism seems to be almost nonexistent. This is one of the reasons that I feel like I need to have this surgery, to regulate my metabolism and hormones. Just keep doing what you are doing, maybe up the intensity of your workouts a bit, cut out a few more calories, etc. You can do it! Good luck!

Hi
I had bypass and was super easy with 5 very small incisions (about 1/2 inch). Bypass eliminates heartburn and maximizes weight loss which is why I chose it.

Recovery super easy - gas pain was a bit much for a day or two but then was just learning how to eat slow and in small amounts, liquids etc.

If you have specific questions, happy to answer!

Good luck with your decision

Thank you yes this has really helped I really think the sleeve is better because of the fact they don’t touch your intestines. Also because it’s less surgery time too, I just want to be healthy and live the life I always wanted but the weight has stopped me from . Thank you for responding to me .

Hello everyone I went to see my surgeon yesterday and I can not decide if I should have bypass or the sleeve I have researched both .
