Well done. I'm glad it's all going well. Hearing good news really motivates me too!

Good for you. I hope it all goes well

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!

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.
