Hyperthyroid before vsg surgery

[patezer 4]

Did anyone had hyperthyroidism( overactive thyroid) before going for vsg, did your condition stop you from having it? Or did you get a storm aftet your surgery? My vsg is coming up on june 18 and am so scared to go in with this condition, hope someone did and came out fine.

I was hypothyroid and after a month and a half I am close to being hyperthyroid.

Never heard of that, but I guess we all live and learn as time goes on#

Have you still been losing weight ? I have had problems losing weight for years due to my hypothyroid, I am hoping that after surgery this won't be the case.

I had the same problem. I am losing weight but it’s coming off slow! I’ve only lost 37 lb since surgery. I met with my dietitian and she recommended that I eat ever two hours 2oz portions lots of Protein . So Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. And in between each meal drink Water.

I honestly don't mind losing slow ! As long as I lose, I've heard if you lose slow you will have less excess skin.
