I feel your frustration. My thyroid is wild right now...I am pre surgery, my pre op is Feb 14 and my surgery is Feb 28. I also have absorption issues, and have had constant variations in Synthroid rxs--I feel like I have a drugstore worth of strengths, going up and down. I was at 150, just switched again to 137. are you on Cytomel as well? I take a half of 25 strength which is supposed to help with absorption. I am praying that the lap band will get me OFF some rxs!!
