Not looking Good

Hello everyone, well my surgery is still post-pon until further notice, after seeing the doctor they stated that my thryoid was producing to much hormone and they found a small growth on it. so now I have to go see a specialist which is on may 16.

Sabrina, My surgery is post- poned too. I am having heart valve replacement and a by-pass on Thursday, and I am grateful that I decided to start this journey since it made me take care of a far more important issue. They want you in the best shape possible before you have WLS, and if you are needing another issue fixed first, its all the better for you. There is an old saying that things happen for a reason. We will both be getting our WLS when the time is right. Good luck

((((HUGS)))) I know that anything I say will probably not sooth the hurt you are going through with the postponement but it is so important that you resolve your thyroid issue first. Keep us posted. Chris

Hey Sabrina and Lisa ... this may actually be a blessing in disguise. For some reason you are not "supposed" to have this surgery right now. Sabrina ... thyroid problems can be a cause of weight gain, so who knows where this new direction may take you. I know for about 10 years I was gaining 15-20 pounds/year, and then a year before my gastric bypass we finally stabilized my thyroid, and I hadn't gained a single pound in an entire year. I know its still disappointing, but hang in there ... things will work out the way they're supposed to. Please keep us posted!! Karyn

Hello Karyn i see you are from chicago do you attend any support groups if so where i'm looking for a support group to join

support groups? I think I'm addicted to support groups! (hmmm ... I wonder if there's a support group for that) ... I will send you some of the ones I go to (or plan to go to) ... and I'm always looking for more! I'm sure I won't continue to go to ALL of the ALL the time, but its a nice venue to meet people and learn, as well as pick up different things from different meetings (some are small and more casual, some have "speakers"). I'll send you a separate note with the info ... I probably won't get to it til the end of the day though. Hope to see you at one of these meetings! Karyn

Karyn thank you so very much for your time in the matter i'm desperately trying to find one i appreciate this so much
