Anyone know of correlation between WLS and Thyroid or Prostate problem?
I heard from my PCP today regarding blood and urine tests earlier in the week. Blood test shows a high level of a thyroid hormone (TSH, I guess) and a high white cell count. Urine test shows a "huge number of bacteria" in my urine (doc suspects this is caused by a prostate infection). I am 53 years old, and 10 weeks RNY post-op. My pre-op blood tests did not show any abnormalities, but I don't know if the lab would have tested TSH levels. They certainly would have noticed a high white cell count, though, so I am guessing that is recent.
Has anyone heard of any linkage between WLS and thyroid and/or prostate problems?
Thanks,
Joe Bear
