Autoimmune Disease



Recommended Posts

I have RA and I had the sleeve done on Nov 1st. I haven't had any set-backs. If anything, my joints feel better because I've lost 62 lbs and I work out 5X a week. I did have to go off my meds for a month before surgery and 6 weeks after but fortunately, I didn't have any set backs from it.

I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and also Psoriasis (although this is minimal).

Neither changed after WLS, still the same with no issues.

I have fibromyalgia which isn't classified as auto-immune but the symptoms closely mimic RA. I can tell you that I have never felt better. I was sleeved on 12/21, I've lost 30 lbs. and I feel great. I do experience some neuropathy at night - but not too bad that it keeps me up.

Oh thank ya'll very much! I have polymyositis. My rheumatologist approved me for my surgery. I'm in remission and all my blood work was good. I'm approved for VSG so all I have to do now is schedule my surgery date.

I have hypothyroidism and hope that it won't prevent, slow down, or stall weight loss too much.

Keep us posted. Wishing you all the best! I hope you get a speedy surgery date and all goes smoothly! God Bless!

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
