Lap band surgery suspended Round 2

So my TSH levels are too low...

Now I have been suspended again, my internal medicine doctor won't clear me for the surgery.

I haven't lost faith, but I'm questioning the process. I'm surprisingly not upset at all.

I might not want it anymore.

Anyone had this happen to them?

    What are TSH levels?

    Thyroid Stimulating Hormones. What is too low. I keep mine at nearly zero. Have been hypothyroid for 20 years and I've always kept mine as close to 0 as possible.

    SandyM, Thanks for the info. Tmo I go for my pre-op hospital appointment. I suppose I'll learn about these things when I get the results. Thanks again!

    Well I am at 0.17

    They want me at the standard low which is 0.30

    I had cancer so my Endo wants me as low as possible.

    Besides since I lost 25 pre op I need less dosage.

    It's pretty crazy.
