Hello, my thyroid levels are not normal will this slow down my surgery?

Nope... mine weren't normal either. I wasn't taking my meds like I should've.. Going back to my regular doctor next week to get back on my synthroid. My surgery was 4 weeks ago.

Congrats on your surgery, how has it been for you?

One thing I found is that when I started taking my thyroid medication on a regular basis it made losing weight easier.

It's been really good.. At first, it was difficult to get my Water in and Protein... but it gets easier all the time!

That is what I was thinking too. I don't feel good physically when I don't take it either... so I really want to start taking it again.

I have been taking my meds religiously and I was hyperthyroidism, then I had radioactive treatment to kill my thyroid and now my levels still have not leveled out and it's been a year already and my weight loss is not too great.... Hard journey I have not seen the surgeon yet but I hope this will not get in the way of getting the sleeve done.

I am hypo/ hashimotos thyroiditis and when I began my insurance process, I was told by my surgeon that they would not schedule my surgery unless my Tsh levels were under a certain number. For optimal weight loss. I think it was 5. My surgery has been scheduled for 3/14 since my levels are good now.

I also, have hypo thyroid problems. Can this effect surgery and being approved?

Theres a huge thread on this from a couple of weeks back.. Search hypothyroidism

Thanks so much moregoodtimes, I found those thread and they were very helpful.
