Unfortunately after surgery i did not get the amount of synthetic thyroxine needed, and ended up sleeping or extremely tired for months, gaining tons of weight despite not eating.
After 6 months and many Drs visits, i finally got to a level i can function, and the last few months spent tweaking things so im no longer gaining weight, i can stay awake for most of the day, and function.
Unfortunately the year has left me 50kg heavier than i was. It was a fast brutal horrific weight gain. I am heavier now than i have been in my entire life. I can't exercise due to size and weight, and im at wits end.
I have decided that the weight needs to go, i have type 2 diabetes , only one kidney which will fail at the rate things are, and i need to lose it fast.
With this all in mind, i have taken out a loan to get stomach surgery , gastric sleeve to be exact.
I have done a lot of research , and have had a few friends who have had surgeries i have talked too.
One friend went to Mexico and got a cheap deal, but i notice despite having that some time ago, she generally ate a lot of junk and is still fairly chunky.
Another friend did it in NZ, and has done really well, doesn't always eat the right food, but tries her best and is doing well over all.
I knew i wanted the support, i wanted it in NZ, so have researched the best local Doctor i could find and have booked appointments.
Boy what a work up they give you! I had a bunch of home work, a day of appointments with physios, dietitians, councillors and the rest. The cost of my surgery includes regular checkups and appointments , physio, support, and more.
I feel that i am in good hands, and will be able to get the weight off fast and safely.
I am going to try blogging about it as much as possible, for anyone interested in how it goes.
