[QUOTE="Janice2209, post: 1627729, member: 128605"] Sorry to hear about the nightmare. You asked some other questions that I haven't answered. I'm not on any diabetic meds. My bg has been at normal levels since 2015, so before the bypass. I've never seen a diabetic consultant. The reason for my underactive thyroid has never been explored or explained, although I shall ask my GP about the role of oestrogen as now I have lost weight the levels will have changed. As far as I am aware I am the only bariatric patient at the hospital who has been returned to theatre. The surgeon has been very open about what happened and I am confident that all the other issues are consequences of that retraction tool damaging the bowel. My bypass was funded by the NHS. This has been life changing for me so even with all the complications I don't regret the decision to have surgery. A 4 stone loss on your own is very impressive. The key is being able to sustain losses in the long term, which I wasn't able to do. [/QUOTE]
