Being Referred to a Thyroid Specialist

My PCP called earlier this evening with my blood test results. My thyroid level is showing within the “normal" range so she said she does not want to adjust my medication at this time. I told her that if my ultrasound showed an enlarged thyroid and a goiter, and that my weight-loss has been slow even though I’ve had gastric bypass and am consuming just 800-1000 calories per day (and following all of the “rules!"), then isn’t there *something* wrong and *something* that could be done? She said that she would like to refer me to a thyroid specialist. I was very relieved to hear that, though she said there is usually quite a wait to get in.

So now I’m waiting to schedule an appointment and I’ll ask to be put on a cancellation list if they have one. If any of you have had these problems post-op and can share your experience, I would really appreciate hearing about it. I’m a bit confused about how my numbers can be good, but the ultrasound is showing the enlargement and goiter…just wondering how much of an impact this is really having on my weight-loss.

Thank you!
