My Endo's final report

[Guest guest]

Well, I saw my endocrinologist today. Seems she has dealt with a lot of post

bypass patients. Long story short, I am in great shape with the exception of

a whacked out thyroid....which needs tweaking...so we are going to individual

elements. She doesn't believe in doing the T-3 and T-4, but has given in to

my reasoning, and is prescribing both for me...in the amounts that I probably

need in comparison to what I WAS taking read..more T-4. Yes, I do have a bit

of hyperparathyroidism, but she says I am doing a wonderful job at controling

it...I am in the best shape of any post bypass patient nearly three years out

that she has ever seen....(thank you !!!) She said it is obvious I

made an informed choice when I did this...( she is obviously antibypass) and

I have done a great job in taking care of myself, monitoring my labs, etc. O

ther than changing my thyroid meds, she doesn't need to see me again, unless

I have more problems. Boy, do I feel good tonight! Toeing the mark really

pays off in the end! She just wants me to have my thyroid rechecked in two

months...and have the results sent back to her. If it needs tweaking from

there, she will help with that. I am so relieved!

Regards~

Dear Jacque: I may have missed somethng. An endo who doesn't believe

in the premiere tests for thyroid function. What did she prescribe for

you? and based on what lab results? I may have misread your post.

Sorry.
