Dr. C Help!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Curry, I had my PAT yesterday. The blood results were ok except for my tsh or ths, which was low. I had the blood tests after fasting and no meds. I take armour thyroid and a T3 compounded sustained release thyroid. They said if I didn't have a higher tsh by the time of surgery 8-6-05 they would cancel it. What does the tsh have to do with the surgery? Could it be llow on the test because I hadn't taken it that day? What do you suggest? Luann

Absolutely it would be low if you didn't take it that day. I would say to take it regularly for a few days and have it rechecked. Good luck, Dr. C The Deaconess Surgical Weight Loss Center Cincinnati, Ohio (513) 559-2545
