Anyone Else With High Tsh Results?



Recommended Posts

found it on my new labwork - it's 2.670 - so I gues that's ok. but i just noticed that on the blood work from the lab it said i had FASTED, but i HAD NOT - this was done around 4pm.....so it makes my triglcerides OFF THE FREAKING CHART... 473??? omg - my fasting blood work taken in May 2012 showed it at 268 which is WAY high.....but there is no way it shoot up 200+ .....OMG if this delays my insurance approval I'm going to freaking flip out.... already emailed the true results place letting them know that i did not FAST for this bloodwork. They just emailed me back saying that it's not necessary for the blood work for them to be 'fasting' - i said OK - but some results are really HIGH because they were taken after meals and such....god I hope this doesn't screw up the approval process.....hate freaking surprises (well, good surprises are Ok like gifts of money, etc.)

I feel much better. I found out they did take that test last year and it was normal. Talked to the office and it is not that way over.....he wants to see what the surgeon says.

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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
