Bonines 10 Posted April 4, 2019 hello! Anyone out there like me with Hypothyroidism? How has the surgery affected weight loss? Is it normal? Energy levels? I'm still taking Synthroid 75mcg for my symptoms but I want to know if it gets easier and if the hormones get under control. I'm only 12 days out from bypass but I wanted to see if anyone out here was further along and how their body is adjusting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FluffyChix 17,415 Posted April 4, 2019 I think many of us are. My TSH is normalizing, as has my Free T3 and Free T4. YMMV... 1 Bonines reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxbins 625 Posted April 4, 2019 Before my surgery I was taking 150mcg of Synthroid. As I lost weight, my physician had to reduce my dosage. I'm taking 112 now. Make sure you keep getting your blood work! 1 Bonines reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hayr80 0 Posted April 6, 2019 Pre surgery I was on 200 mcg levothyroxine and 15 mg Armour Thyroid. I’m almost 4 months out and off the Armour and levo is down to 175. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AUNTEATER 0 Posted April 6, 2019 I'm also 12 days post OP and on thyroid 125mgs. I dont think my hormones have been affected per say. I have had a period that I've not had for a year and I've been emotional too. It's not easy is it after surgery Sent from my SM-G960F using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
