Cause For Gain Of Weight?
Hi I am 36 i weigh 336 pounds and have hosimotos thyroiditis is this medicine safe for me? They are suggesting a lapband or gastric bypass? Not sure I like the surgery option but with a BMI of 52.6 im feeling like im running outta ooptions. we tried phentrimine for 6 months and i lost 30 pounds but as soon as I stopped I gained it and then 15 more pounds totalling my weight at 336. I dont know if this med will work as I have thyroid issues arthritis and other things like high bp?????

Dear friend, welcome to HCM... i read your query ... i think that you are a right candidate for surgery .. but you also keep in mind that hashimotos thyroidits lead to hypothyroidism tooo get your thyroid profile done and meet your surgeon .... i think you need to get the complete hormonal profile done BMI 52.6 is too high ...
even stress is also a cause for unnoticed weight gain ... even after surgery you need to be on a good nutritious food and physical exercise ....
thank you do inform us about the future happenings ... take care
