Re: My blood fasting sugar test

It's interesting you should say that your thyroid medication has had to be

adjusted. On my regular WLS support group there are several people who post WLS

have had to have their thyroid medication adjusted upwards after surgery. I

wonder if this has something to do with absorption or if the hormonal changes

from weight loss make a difference in the thyroid function, since it is a

hormonally influenced thing.

Anyway, congrats on the NO GESTATIONAL DIABETES!! Boy what a nice hurdle to

not have to climb while you're pregnant.

Take care,

And I am the opposite. Since my RNY and thruought my post-op pregnancy my

Synthroid was consistingly needing to go down. Not sure why, but I am on a

WAY lower dosage than I was pre-op.

Did you guys have thyroid problems prior to WLS? Just

wondering if an underactive thyroid may occur post surgery

due to the trauma and hormonal changes. Didn't even think

to ask about it, so glad it has been brought up:)
