Subclinical Hypothyroidism
dyingtobethin replied to lnmlisa's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have thyroid disease and have for over 10 yrs. I usually forget my medicine on the weekends because i keep it in my drawer at work. I just had my checked at it is at 12 so i was asked to make sure i take it each day and they said to have it rechecked in a few weeks. It pissed me off because i have had all test and been cleared so if not for this they would have submitted to ins. Oh well what is a few more weeks i have been fat since age 9 and am now 43 so my day is coming. -
I understand your story completly you have wrote my story of the struggle i have had since age 9. I think you at least need to tell one good friend or family member that you are real close to. The reason is you are going to need a support team to talk to about how you are feeling from time to time and you will need that support.

Today I Have Finally Made My Decision
dyingtobethin commented on ItalianSoul's blog entry in Blog 53122
I live in rockymount nc and will be having surgery at the new nash surgical center by a Dr Christian Mann who works in Greenville NC and comes to Rocky Mount 8 days a month to perform these surgeries. All I have left to do is get my thyroid level normal and then meet with my surgeon to set a date. All appts ae complete. -
Waiting for Approval from my company not Blue Cross...

Because when the employer is reviewing which type of plan to take for their empoyees the insurance company ask if you want certain benefits to be covered under your group policy. Depending on what the insurance company covers will decide your companies premiums. -

Surgery to First Fill Weightloss???
dyingtobethin replied to Curlycat3's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Really that is amazing why so long? Did you not feel hungry? I would think even though you don't have the band real tight if you eat food that stays in the top portion of the band it should make you feel feel longer and you still lose weight but i am hearing no it does not work like that. -
I know i feel the same way. Mu husband is having the bypass and he can not understand me being excited about surgery. I just know it is the start of a better life.

WELL I SHOULD BE A JANUARY BANSTER I HAVE BEEN TO ALL OF MY APPTS EXCEPT MY MEETING WITH THE SURGEON THAT WILL BE IN A WEEK OR SO. THE ONLY THING I NEED TO DO BEFORE SUBMITTING TO INSURANCE IS TO GET MY THYROID LEVEL NORMAL AGAIN.:thumbup: I HAVE HAD A THYROID PROBLEM FOR YEARS. I STOPPED TALKING ALL MY MEDS BEFORE I HAD MY ENDOSCOPY JUST TO BE SURE IT WOULD NOT CAUSE A PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME NOT TO TAKE ANYTHING WITH ASPRIN BY STOPPING MY THYROID MEDICINES THIS CAUSED MY THYROID LEVELS TO BE TO HIGH. I WILL HAVE THIS RETESTED IN ABOUT 3 WEEKS AS SOON AS WE GET IT BACK DOWN WE WILL SUBMIT TO INSURANCE. I AM PRETTY SURE WE WILL BE ABLE TO GET EVERY THING COMPLETED AND I WILL BE BANDED IN EARLY JANUARY. YEAH I AM SO EXCITED AND CAN'T WAIT TO START MY NEW LLIFE.

yes i am having this problem because i have to keep my bmi where it is it is only 3 numbers higher than the minimum so if i lose 20 pounds my bmi would drop belopw 40 so i can not lose any weight until i meet with my surgeon in 2 weeks. this has given me permission to eat what i wont and i am gaining weight at least 5 pounds in 3 weeks.

Questions and things
dyingtobethin replied to Chele6378's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also have told about 10 people where i work. My thing is i had to tell my boss that i was going to have multiple dr appts and need time off for those and then to let her know i would need to take some vacation to recover. If people act like they do not agree with it which i have not seen yet i will just say you are correct it is not right for everyone but for me i feel it is the only decision. -
WHY do they do that??
dyingtobethin replied to Neener's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
they just wish they had the courage to do what you are doing but don't and they are jelous because once you are not the biggest anymore someone else has to take that title -

I HAVE HAD A THYROID PROBLEM FOR 10 OR MORE YEARS AND HAVE BEEN ON A THYROID REPLACEMENT MEDICINE. THIS HAS KEPT MY LEVELS NORMAL WELL FOR THE PAST 1 YEAR OR MORE I HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY OF MY MEDCINE ON THE WEEKENDS MAINLY BECAUSE I LEAVE IT AT WORK IN MY DESK DRAWER. WELL ANYWAY I HAD SOME LABS DONE THE OTHER DAY AND MY THYROID CAME BACK A 12 AND SHOULD BE BETWEEN 0-3. WELL NOW I HAVE TO TAKE MY MEDS DAILY FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND THEN HAVE IT TESTED AGAIN. I AM BUMMED I SO HOPE IT WILL ONLY TAKE AT THE LONGEST A MONTH TO GET THIS CORRECTED. I ONLY HAVE ONE MORE APPOINTMENT AND IT WILL BE TIME TO SUBMIT TO INSURANCE FOR APPROVAL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IF MY THYROID IS OFF THEY WILL DENY ME. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM PLEASE LET ME KNOW.:thumbup:

How do you set up your ticker and put in your information? -
Coulter do you know how to set up a ticker and set up the profile so when you make a comment on the boards that you can see your personal info on when you started and how much you have lost?

So your birthday is 4-25-65 that is so wild.
How old are your kids coulter? I was just wondering if they would be old enough so that you could have them eat like you are going to so you do not have to cook or make 2 different meals
