Hyperthyroid before vsg surgery



Recommended Posts

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.

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. :)

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
