[Soli3l 30]

I would like to know if anyone with Hypothyroidism & Diabetes has had the Gastric Sleeve? How has your weight loss been? Thank you.

so happy for you...so your no longer a diabetic? When were you diagnosed?

[Christinamo7 4,042]

I was diagnosed November 2014.

I am technically still diabetic because my last A1c was 6.0 - but with great blood sugar and the weight loss, I am sure I will be able to drop that diagnosis very soon. I am no longer on any medications for diabetes.

I have those same conditions and am worried about losing weight even with a sleeve since I am unable to lose weight now no matter what I do. Thanks for asking about this

I have a thyroid condition(hypo) and although I am struggling to get to goal, these last twenty pounds are so difficult, I'm still pretty pleased w/my progress (75#).

I was also borderline diabetic & my dr.was going to refer me to a specialist but I begged her to wait, as I was preparing for the surgery.

Thankfully, my numbers are now perfect, I never needed meds.

You'll find many people lose successfully w/a thyroid condition.

I'm hypothyroid and was diabetic before RNY. Was taking Metformin. My surgery was Dec 9 2015 and I'm off Metformin and have lost 53lbs thus far. Weight-loss has been steady, I'm thankful for that.

Don't worry too much, it all works out in the end

I have hypo thyroid as well. I'm 5 1/2 mos post op and have lost 92 pounds so far. 74 since being sleeved. Still have 50 to go. I was surprised at my 2 month blood work that my T4 was actually high and my Doc had to decrease my meds.
