Daizeoh 9 Posted April 4, 2018 So I have hypothyroidism and it makes it difficult for me to loose weight, I have my surgery date and everything but if I didn’t loose how much my surgeon wanted me to before surgery can he cancel it or something?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KimTriesRNY 1,853 Posted April 4, 2018 The important thing is effort. Sure he can cancel it. If you go in weighing a few pounds shy of a goal, it may not be a big deal. If you go in weighing more than what you started at, you may have a problem explaining that. Many of us have hypothyroidism so we know it is difficult but it should not necessarily cause gain if medication is being taken and labs and hormones are acceptable levels. 1 Starfish23 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My surgery is scheduled for April 25... my paperwork gets submitted to insurance next week. My surgeon didn't say I had to lose a certain amount of weight, but I've lost a few working with my nutritionist. I start the two week liquid diet next Wednesday.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacockConnie 17 Posted April 5, 2018 I have hypothyroidism as well. I stuck to my pre-op diet religiously. shake for Breakfast, shake for lunch and 4 oz Protein with a veggie. Went from 331 on 3/13 to 317 on surgery day 3/26. You can do it! 1 clsumrall reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
