Hypothyroid

[hjtj112 45]

How is weight loss going for anyone who had vsg and was hypothyroid prior to surgery?

I am interested in hearing about this as well..I also have hypothyroidism but will have my surgery on 11-26. I will be more than happy to compare with you once I have started loosing. Have you had your surgery yet?

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!

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..

I am on Synthroid, am losing weight and have had no problems.

I had a total thyroid removal and take 125mcg synthroid and 25mcg of cytomel. Had my surgery on July 18 and it has been the best thing ever. I can't believe the weight loss of 73lbs since surgery:)

I havent had surgery yet..Looking at February.I have my psychological today.But I am on 150mcg synthriod and was wonder if we would have steady weight loss.

I'm glad to hear people are having success even with hypothyroidism. This was my biggest fear

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. :-)

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!

I have Hashimotos Disease, had a right thyroidlobectomy 7 years ago, and am on 112mcg of Synthroid. I was sleeved 10/16 and have lost 50 lbs.

[doxieville 799]

I have Hashimotos disease also. So I was shocked when my dosage went down. I'll never be off of it completely though.

I'm on Levothyroxine for my hypothyroidism and I'm doing very well! I lost 18 pounds on my pre-op diet, and about 37 since VSG in late September.

I have Hashimotos as well... am currently taking 125mcg Tirosent. Scheduled for surgery November 30th
