Hi all I am new to this forum I'm trying to consider which type of surgery will work best for me. I would like to ask a question of anybody reading in this form if they have Hashimoto's or hypothyroid and what the success was for having bypass surgery. Any input would be gratefully accepted

Hello welcome to the forum. Yes before my gastric bypass I had hypothyroidism and hashmotis. I was taking synthroid and cytomel for both condition and also had auto immune disorder and severe GERD. After my gastric bypass I am so much better and only take a low dose of synthroid. I have more energy and my body feels different in a better way. Actually I am going to see my endocrinologist in 2 weeks to see my levels. Regarding the type of surgury you deciding depends on what your surgeon thinks is best for your health and medical condition if you have any. I was recommended bypas due to severe GERD and severe erosion and esphogitis. Any question please ask and I will do my best to help you. Best of luck.

Thank you that's just the type of information I needed to hear,
