That's great progress! Trust me' date=' you want that thyroid figured out first. I've been on meds for about 2 years now and its risky to not have balanced numbers and go through surgery. I'm not exactly sure on the specifics but I definitely had to get it tested and make sure my tsh was at an acceptable number. I read something that said "risk of sudden death after surgery" and said I'm not taking any chances! When I went to the pre op day I told them I had occasionally felt heart palpitations so they sent me downstairs for an ekg. Took maybe 10 minutes and I was on to my other appts. As long as you answer all their questions that should tell them wether to send you for one or not. Oh and everyone calls me Tab lol[/quote']

Thanks.. i had lab work on monday and normal range is up to 4.2 and im at 6.27. If its postponed i can only be upset w myself but want to be safe overall. Maybe they will do another test next week. I started pre op diet on tuesday and lost 3 lbs already so im happy w that.

Might take only a few weeks to stabilize. 3 pounds less you'll have to lose after surgery! Yay!

Thats so great!!! Ive been wondering how you are. Im all ready.. i saw Angela at the Univ on Monday and said i met someone on a forum and she said your so nice and great to deal with' date=' she was happy and laughed when i said but i only know her screen name LOL! I am nervous because she said if my thyroid is out of whack they may have to postpone surgery. So ive been takin my meds and praying. I wanted to ask you if you had to have an ekg or see a cardiologist? I didnt and dont knw if i shld ask abt it.[/quote']

I did not know you were at the university of Chicago. It is nice to know that I have people on here that come from the same hospital. By the way I love Angela to pieces and she keeps it real honest with you.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
