Hello! I've been reading this site for a few months and it gave me the courage to move forward with the surgery process. I am 5'1 and weigh 217 (BMI 40) and I have hypothyroidism. My thyroid levels stilly fairly stable on armor but I still have difficulty losing weight. What have others experienced with the sleeve and hypothyroidism? My surgeon told me I should expect to lose about 60 pounds over 18 months, that seems low/slow compared to what I read on this site. Thoughts?
