thyroid levels stopping surgery any suggestions

I've been dealing with a hypo thyroid for over 20 years. Dr's have always had a problem trying to get my levels within a good range. I have taken both armor and synthrod and am currently taking both meds.  My weight keeps getting higher and higher energy level lower and lower. I have had all the lab work done to have lapband surgery done and received a call yesterday  can't do the surgery because my TSH levels are currently 8.87 Has anyone else had this problem and do you have any suggestions.

Hi, I don't have an answer to your question, but have you thought of asking on the main OH forum board?  They have so many people on there posting at any given time day or night, and I am sure if you ask this question on that board that there will probably be soome replies of people who have the same problem and was wondering the same thing and also someone who can give you a good answer. If you do find anything out be sure to come and let us know :)

ARe you taking your thyroid meds with any other meds like anything with iron or calcium in it?  Sometimes the iron will block the absorption of the thyroid.
