Guest guest Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 I just joined the group. My aniversary date is next week so I hope it is okay to post a question " early. " I had open gastric bypass on June 26, 2002. I have lost a total (including weight lost just before surgery) of 94 pounds. I have 30 more to go. That will put me at 165. I am 5' 9 " so I will be happy at 165, but if I go lower that would also be great. My question is on thyroid problems. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and had the whole thing out in 1999. I take thyroid replacement every day. My weight has come off VERY slowly after my surgery and my surgeon and thyroid doctor both say it is because I am not absorbing my thyroid pills correctly. My specialist is working on this with me and we have made some progress. I finally lost another 9 pounds after being on a plateau for 4 months! Has anyone else had this problem? Or any kind of thyroid problem that affected their weight loss? What a great group!! Thanks for having me.
