I have been hypothyroid for over 20 years. Apparently, my TSH has dropped too low and my Dr. has to adjust my meds. My surgery was scheduled for July 17th, I was in the middle of my pre op diet and I received an email stating that my primary care dr will not allow me to have surgery until my levels are normal.

The surgeon and bariatric clinic did not have any issue with doing surgery. My Primary put a halt to everything. My thyroid dipped down to .15.

I am going to recheck in two weeks, does anyone have any suggestions on how to bring the levels up quick?

Must be painful for you. My level was 7.5 and I had surgery. I never took synthroid, I have a feeling it will get better once I lose all my weight. I'm now 5.5 months Post op, I'll do my blood work at 6 months. I'm sure it'll be gone by then. I did a major diet 3 years ago and it dropped to 3.9, so for me it's weight, and taking synthroid is what's telling the thyroid gland to hibernate due to the synthroid taking care...

Now mine is considered Hyperthyroid and I need it get to normal. I think my dr is overreacting. But unfortunately I do not have a say in this. Very frustrating! I got the news after not eating for two days! Needless to say I did not take it very well. I pleaded with him to allow me to move forward and he refused.
