I feel you. I've had both of my thyroids removed. Instead of losing weight I was gaining. So my last straw was the gastric sleeve. I just had surgery Tuesday June 7 yesterday morning. I pray everything goes well .

How is the weight loss going? Did the sleeve help you? I’m debating it but wondering if it will even help much.

That’s great mizzkp. I am 4 weeks out and I’ve lost 25 lbs and over 20 inches. I haven’t lost in a week so I’m a bit frustrated but I’ve heard there’s a 3rd week stall. I am so relieved that the scale is going down as well.

So you do have a thyroid?

I had a total thyroidectomy in early 2K. Put on a TON of weight. After 3 years of research & going back & forth on deciding, I had my VSG in November 2021, just 5 months ago. I I was in the same boat as you - wondering if the surgery would actually make a difference. It was quite worrisome for me. But - it HAS made a difference! I've lost 55 lbs since the surgery, 96 lbs total adding in the pre-op diet & on my own (after my 1st consultation w/my surgeon I decided to get busy!). I'm probably a bit of a slow loser, compared to some others here. But I'm doing it. It is totally within reach for you, and you WILL lose weight!

Nougato, this is encouraging! which thyroid medication do you take? How much weight do you hope to lose? What is your age? Male or female? Thanks!
