I am joining the group for additional support and information. I am scheduled for the Gastric Sleeve procedure in a little more than a week. My top weight was 278, I am currently 214. My goal is 150 pounds.
I am excited and nervous about the surgery. I began the process initially in 2008. I rejoined the program in Oct 2014 and here I am April 2015 6 months later and finished with all of the pre-qualifications.
I had a thyroidectomy in 2013 and one of my concerns is how the synthroid will affect my weight loss after surgery. I also have reflux. Based on the increase in reflux symptoms with the sleeve I am praying I won't need any revision procedures. My choice for the sleeve is based on the procedure not causing the issues of malabsorption and the timing associated with weight loss.
Please keep me in your prayers. I look forward to interacting with the other support group members and appreciate your support already!
