Hi everyone. Just looking for advice. I am hypothyroid. I had the sleeve surgery in may of 2013. I did very well the first 6 months. But since then I've had problems with stalls. I've currently been stalled for months. Has anyone else experienced this same problem and how are you dealing with it?

I too have hypothyroidism and had problems with stalls. I had to decrease my dose of medication by half after loosing 100 lbs. This did slow my weight loss but usually only for a few weeks. When I hit my 1 year mark my weight stalled big time. My current weight has fluctuated between 150 and 158 for the past 3 months. I have recently had my labs done and everything is within the normal limits. I have tried "going back to basics" to try and restart the weight loss but has not had any real success.

I know this has not given you any helpful information but I do understand your frustration with stalls.

I had hypothyroidism and hashimotos, an autoimmune disease due to thyroid. I ended up having to have a thyroidectomy 2 years ago and boy!! I packed on the pounds! I'm hoping the sleeve helps. I have read articles are the subject and from what I understand, stalls ate very common for people living us. Did you loose normally at first?

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
