Guest guest Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 Stef, I take synthroid and I am having no problems with the meds so far. I am just over 3 months out. The only problem I have had is my thyroid decided to go from hypo to hyper. Once we figured out what was causing me so much havoc..the dr just adjusted my meds and I am fine. I go back at the end of this month and have my TSH (thyroid panel) checked again to see if my meds need to be adjusted. I did crush my meds at first but now I take them each morning about an hour before I eat.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 Thanks Shelly, for the info. What kind of havoc did your thyroid put you through? Just curious so I can be one step ahead.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 I was about 6 weeks post op and started to feel really bad. I was not able to eat or drink without feeling really sick. I even told my husband that I was going to refuse to eat and drink anymore cause it made me sick. I felt like I was literally dying. Mood swings and just did not feel like myself. My stomach stayed feeling nauseated. I never knew such a small thing could cause you to feel so bad. But the dr said that is one of the symptoms of hyper thyroid/....being nauseated all the time and not wanting to eat. Just be very aware of what is happening with your body cause the whole time I thought it was something to do with the surgery and that something had maybe gone wrong that was making me feel this sick but the whole time it was my thyroid. Your thyroid is a very important organ and plays a BIG part of almost every body function we have....from our moods to our heart beat to feeling tired and fatigued. Make sure you have your dr do a thyroid panel on you every couple of months to make sure that you don't need your meds adjusted until you are at your goal. Take care and email me anytime if you would like. Shelley D > > Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has a problem with absorbing > thyroid meds due to WLS. I have hypothyroid and take levoxyl.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Stef, I also take Levoxyl and I haven't had any problems so far. I just had blood work done before Christmas and my levels were perfect. I take my pills first thing in the morning and I wait an hour before I take any vitamins or eat.] Open RNY 10/13/03 303/244/160 > Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has a problem with absorbing thyroid meds due to WLS.
