Whoo Hoo!! Just got a call from the doctor's office. The lab results are in......I DON"T have to take my thyroid medicine anymore and I DON"T have to take my cholestrol medicine anymore!!!!!!

They compared the numbers to my last test and couldn't believe the difference! My thyroid is acting normal again! I haven't taken the medicine since surgery (May 14th) My thyroid is in the normal range again. Hadn't been for 2 years! Same with the cholestrol. Numbers look good. All in the normal range.

They were amazed at the results from the surgery! I feel better than I have in such a long time. Currently I am 34 pounds lighter since May 14!

This one one of the best things that we decided to do.

Good luck everyone, hopefully you will be in the same boat some day....off the meds and feeling great! :thumbdown:

That's great news! It's amazing what this surgery can do for people. I hope to drop most of my meds too. With the weight loss from my preop diet, I've already noticed that my hip isn't hurting anymore, so I guess that's already one med I've dropped.

Thats great news - well done!!

Congrats on your weight loss too... you must be very pleased with that.
