I have elevated cortisol levels. My DR has put my WLS on hold due to this. He says that an elevated cortisol level is a sign of Adrenal tumors. They found the problem due to my blood sugar being very low, and it has snowballed from there. At any rate, if there are tumors, they have to be taken care of.
