"Does the Patient Fail the Procedure or Does the Procedure Fail the Patient" Dr....
I have hypothyroidism, and I totally believe that gives a whole other dimension to weight loss efforts. Despite eating just 800-1000 calories a day and keeping up with exercise, my weight loss is way low for the last 2 months.
My TSH is testing in the normal range, but at the higher end. I'm going to try to get a dosage bump when I see my PCP in a week. I worry that at almost 7 months out, that I'm losing my chance to get to goal.

Thanks for sharing this. It was very informative.
I knew you would enjoy this. Was not sure if you caught it live at ASMBS.

Thank you so much for sharing this! It is really nice to hear a doctor who doesn't immediately blame the patient.
It will be really interesting to see if the DS and VSG eventually replace RNY and the lap-band as the preferred surgeries. I'm not sure why they seem so slow to change, I'm sure it has something to do with $$$ (doesn't it always?).

Excellent post, Tom!
I just might copy it for my profile.
SO many people are being victimized by blame for the failure of their surgeries. They need to see this.
