Graves Disease ?
Hey California,
Has anyone had or heard of anyone having problems with their Thyroid, after RNY ? I have done real well after my surgery about year and half ago. I went from 390 to my target of 225 without any major issues. A few months ago I started having leg pains, and started droping weight along with some other issues. I went and saw my PCP, and after a number of tests he said I devoliped Graves Disease, or Hyper Thyroidisim. My Surgon said that my RNY, and the Graves Disease, are not relatted, but I have found a few medical articals that imply that RNY could be a factor.
I was just wondering if anyone else had heard or experanced this problems.
Thanks
Doc
