Hypothyroid- Medication Increased POST OP, Why?

I'm 4 1/2 months out, and I've had hypothyriod for years and even though my doses have been low (I was taking 50mg before surgery), my PCP says it's gotten worse and upped my dose to 75mg! How can losing almost 70lbs {at a slow rate I might add}effect my thyriod to going from almost ok to worse? Has anyone else experienced this? Does that effect my weight loss? What do I need to do to stablize it or make it normal? Is it out of our hands? Is thyriod forever? What else does it effect? RNY 09/20/02 275lbs/205lbs
