I have hashimoto's Thyroid disease! I cannot tell you how I debated so many times to NOT have the gastric bypass surgery! It took me 4 years.. My first referral for the surgery was in 2012 at Ft. Irwin, CA. My health decreased so much from 2012-2014 I went from having one bad day a month to having only ONE good day a month. What I mean by that is able to get out of bed and function. Not sleep 12-18 hours a day! YES a day!!!
When I finally had bypass surgery April 6, 2016, I didn't know it would change my life. I wasn't expecting it to help my Hashimotos or me be able to function normal again and NOT sleep so much! Out of everything this surgery gave me my life back! I now sleep like a normal person does, I'm NOT tired anymore! I get ALOT of stuff done in my days now that before I couldn't. I'm more than thankful I finally did the bypass surgery, if I had know this before I would have done it in 2012!
