help needed from people who had the weight loose surgery
I did your survey. I hope it helped u. I am eleven years post rny. Lost 150 pounds from my highest weight of 285. I had surgery at age 47. Im 58.6 now.
I am recovered from Thyroid cancer for going on five years. But the resideral is im in low cortisol deficiency. my body doesnt produce cortisol so im om cortisone replacement for life. that can be dangerous. So all in all I have Addisons disease. Presisent Kennedy had it back in the 60s. Itvwas from the radiation treatment of I131 for the thyroid ca. Who would of known!

Thank you for help. Thyroid cancer, thats unfortunate, but that is the cancer which gives good chances for full recovery. I hope for the best for you. I recently had a mole removed and got to know it was a melanoma. Have a 7 month old baby so I was depressed for a couple days, but as it was just a 1st stage and I removed it everything should be fine. Can not imagine being in your situation. Great that you are well and hope for a long and happy life for you.
