Low Thyroid Pre-Op - Surgery August 31st

    Hi,

    I am a Hashimoto's thyroidus gal. Recently my numbers have been wacky. I was in the 2s in the fall and then in January I was in the 20s, and now a month ago I was in the teens. I don't worry about it much, but now I am reading that some folks are turned down for surgery after the blood tests are taken in Mexico! I live in the northeast and do not want to travel out there for nothing.

    The doctor upped my dosage and I am starting my higher dose today. I had been sick in January and we thought that maybe the numbers were off because of meds I was taking (Metronidazole). But now it appears that I need adjusting.

    Will they turn me down? I can get a blood test right before I leave and this drama may be all for nothing but just wanted to see if anyone has information.

    Thanks for reading and glad I found this group!

    Best,
    Jodi
