Are you already in synthroid, levo etc? If so seem like your dosing probably needs to be adjusted. It may take a few weeks for an adjustment to meds to reflect in your blood work though. More importantly how do you feel? Are you showing hypo symptoms? I prefer when docs prescribe based on symptoms, vs. lab work when it comes to thyroid issues.

IE-- My most recent thyroid levels suggest my levo dosage is a bit to high, but my endo prefers to leave it be since I'm not feeling any effects of it. My levels have always been hard to control-- so I understand not taking knee-jerk reaction to a relatively minor out of range result that causes no symptoms. 

As for second guessing--I think anything that comes up as you approach surgery will be viewed as a 'sign'. Take it for what it worth, an abundance of caution to ensure your best possible outcome.

I had to wait to. My Doc changed my med level and they had me wait a little over a month two recheck. Levels were in range so my date was set. I am 13 months out now and levels last month were all good. When I was told I had to wait I thought it wasn't going to happen but it all turned around. I have lost 123 pounds and loving it. Good Luck
