Hypothyroidism and gastric bypass surgery
Amanda Oh replied to Castrad01's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I am Hashimoto’s hypothyroid and I had the sleeve in August of 2018. I went from 346 to 172 lbs currently. I follow proper nutrition and exercise and have had great results. It was slow at times but it all came off. As far as the meds go, you can’t take Calcium or Iron within 4 hours of your thyroid meds so you have to start early. I take my NP Thyroid at 5AM and then start supplements at 9AM. Lots of timers set on my phone but I’ve not had any Vitamin deficiencies and my thyroid levels have been balanced other than dosing changes for weight changes. Hope this helps! -

I had a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in August of 2018 and have had amazing results, from 346 lbs to 172 lbs. Since November of last year I have been vomiting in my sleep sometimes and waking myself up. Also, I have always gagged after eating no matter the amount that I ate, even two ounces. I recently relocated to Florida and saw a surgeon here to establish care and he reviewed a recent CT that I had for a hospital visit for flank pain and discovered that my sleeve healed in a hourglass shape at the suture line and now my esophagus is narrowing from working so hard to push down food. I have an EGD and upper GI scheduled for next week and then next month he’s doing a laparoscopic gastrojejunostomy and partial gastrectomy. He said it’s basically the bypass surgery. Has anyone else had this happen? I’m so scared because I don’t have much left to lose and don’t want to end up malnourished but I also don’t have any other options, I’ll malnourish and end up with esophageal cancer and or obstruction if I don’t have the surgery. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
