Anyone else with Hypothyroid?

[Bonines 10]

hello! Anyone out there like me with Hypothyroidism? How has the surgery affected weight loss? Is it normal? Energy levels?

I'm still taking Synthroid 75mcg for my symptoms but I want to know if it gets easier and if the hormones get under control. I'm only 12 days out from bypass but I wanted to see if anyone out here was further along and how their body is adjusting.

I think many of us are.

My TSH is normalizing, as has my Free T3 and Free T4. YMMV...

Before my surgery I was taking 150mcg of Synthroid. As I lost weight, my physician had to reduce my dosage. I'm taking 112 now. Make sure you keep getting your blood work!

Pre surgery I was on 200 mcg levothyroxine and 15 mg Armour Thyroid. I’m almost 4 months out and off the Armour and levo is down to 175.

I'm also 12 days post OP and on thyroid 125mgs. I dont think my hormones have been affected per say. I have had a period that I've not had for a year and I've been emotional too. It's not easy is it after surgery

I could be joining you g uys, just recently diagnosed with 1.8 cm nodule in my left thyroid,small mutiple ones on Right. Could be due to my age, they say by 80 years 80% chance, let's hope they are cold. IDK why they got found now?

I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Four-five generations of females in my family have had it. Have you ever been tested for antibodies? (Hashimoto's is the most common cause of hypothyroidism is the US.)

I wonder if this be what is causing all thesenodules to show up in my Thyroid? I know my ENT and PCP both have fondled my neck like they felt a theraputic strangling. would do me a world of goodm Now they are finding something? Was it truly there all the time or did the stress of surgery bring it out? IDK- Do You?
