UTGal99 327 Posted November 15, 2012 I am hypothyroid and currently take 150 mcg of synthroid daily. I had surgery on 10/3/12 and am currently down 27 pounds. It is going great - no issues and truly believe the sleeve is the best thing I have EVER done for myself. Good luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IweightNoMore 92 Posted November 15, 2012 I had to have my thyroid removed 12 yrs ago and have taken Synthroid ever since. I had the same fears that you have but so far everything's going great. I had my sleeve surgery on July 9 and have lost 65lbs and feel fantastic!!! I could never have lost so consistently without this surgery.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ima Loser 197 Posted November 15, 2012 I'm glad to hear people are having success even with hypothyroidism. This was my biggest fear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doxieville 799 Posted November 15, 2012 I've had it since i was 13 yrs old. (Am 51 now.). I would suggest that every 3 or 6 months that you get your levels checked. I'm 3 months out and have lost 50 pounds. My dosage is now less. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jewels1227 20 Posted November 15, 2012 Hello all, I was sleeved in May and have lost 62 pounds. I was hypo as well and feel great. My doctor has taken me off all meds, including blood pressure and colesteral, amd synthroid. I do get my labs checked and everything is great! You all might have to come off the meds too.....its wonderful! Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
