    Do you know where to fly into? Would I have to rent a car? How long do you stay after surgery?

    Thank you for replying back..... I've watched his videos on youtube as well.... I'm really thinking of setting up a consult with Dr. A . Do you know if you need a passport? Do you do the pre op testing there?

    Anyone Else With High Tsh Results?

    buckeye_girl40 replied to SleeveandRNYchica's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I think I would contact your surgeons office and talk to them about this.... they would know if this will effect your insurance approval. Maybe you could get another blood work done while fasting to send in

    Anyone Else With High Tsh Results?

    buckeye_girl40 replied to SleeveandRNYchica's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I would definitely check it out ... tsh is usually one of the first things checked. My A1C is at 5.9 with a little bit of weight loss

    Anyone Else With High Tsh Results?

    buckeye_girl40 replied to SleeveandRNYchica's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Look for T3 or T4 those are tested along with the TSH.... to my knowledge it is included in a full blood work up

    Anyone Else With High Tsh Results?

    buckeye_girl40 replied to SleeveandRNYchica's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I know the feeling.... it took 4 yrs to finally get the diagnosis! I had all the symptoms but according to my family doc and ob/gyn I was normal. Finally found an endocrinologist that don't just go by labs.. he actually treats the symptoms.
