JMS 16 Posted February 13, 2013 I just a couple weeks Pre-Op, Once sleeved was wondering if people with hypothyroidism share similar results with weight loss or is it slower? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SMO 193 Posted February 13, 2013 I have had a partial thyroidectomy and I take 50mcg of Synthroid a day. I was sleeved 2/4 and in the days since, have lost 11 pounds. I think that is comparable to what most others have lost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oklafarmgal 31 Posted February 13, 2013 I take 75 mcg's of levothyroxine a day. The surgeon has never said anything about my weight loss being any slower. Hopefully not!! Good luck...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Groovinchikin 49 Posted February 14, 2013 I take 40 mcgs of Synthroid daily and I'm actually ahead of what my surgeon estimated for me. I am 2 months out and down 70 pounds total. (30 preop, 40 since surgery). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanaMomto3 145 Posted February 14, 2013 I take 200 mcg. Bottom line if your TSH is betwern 1 and 2.5 you should be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doreen70 268 Posted February 14, 2013 I've had hashimoto's for 11 years. I am on 125mcg of levothyroxine. I was sleeved on the 17th of December and have lost 36 pounds. My doctor is pleased with my weight loss ad has said it's above average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tawnie 99 Posted February 14, 2013 I have hypo as well. I am about 4 weeks out. About 22 lbs. just did physical and now my meds are off. Changing from 125 to 100 mcg. Doc said may or may not effect WLS. Said if i follow program should have not much of an impact. But each person is different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
