It’s not just Calcium and Iron you need to watch for with the 4hr window. You also need to watch out for acid reducing medicine as well or at least that’s what my prescription bottle of levo says.

I was sleeved 12/17/19 and then revised 8/11/20 for gerd. In the time between I did stall for almost 6 weeks which was frustrating but I eventually started losing again. Also, the closer I got to my goal weight the slower I lost.

Wow. Thank you for this Starwarsandcupcakes. Since my operation in January I've been on Lansoprazole - one in the morning and one at night. I've been taking my morning dose WITH my levothyroxine. That's how they gave it to me at the hospital, and I didn't even think to check it. I've already taken this mornings, but I won't make that mistake again now I know! Thank you!

Starwarsandcupcakes, my med bottle says the same. How has you weight loss been since your revision?

@maven, have you had your surgery already very? All of our stories are similar in ways!

Yes, Castrad01, I had my surgery 25th January 2021. All is very well so far. I am very happy to find people here with hypothyroidism the same as me. Hopefully, we can all learn from and support each other.

Hi, I belong here too. After menopause, I found it impossible to lose weight. Just kept getting bigger and bigger. I had very small losses along the way but the slowness of the loss was so disheartening that I kept giving up and putting what weight I'd lost and some more on. I'm hoping the gastric bypass will allow me to actually lose weight and help me to not lose morale. So far so good. I keep thinking the weight loss will slow down - but actually, after so long with no progress at all, even if the weight loss is quite slow I'll still be happy. I feel hopeful for the first time in ages. My weight was starting to really affect my health. I just want to be healthy again.

I didn't realise I needed to leave four hours between my levothyroxine and my Vitamins. I've been using spray vitamins probably an hour to two hours after my levothyroxine so I've learnt something new here already. I shall change my vitamins to nights.
