Asked By:kottonkandykow in Vernon Hills, Illinois

Hi! I'm 21 and I'm 5'10, 305lbs. Thyroidectomy due to cancer/hashimotos 01/2022. Also have prediabetes/PCOS. I was big my entire life, until 2020 when I dropped from 230 to 140lbs during covid. From 01/2022 to now I've risen to 305 (gained 160 pounds!) and I'm miserable. Was considering lapbands before learning the dangers. Now stuck between sleeve and bypass. I'm also on victoza and want to explore other GLP-1s but they aren't covered :(. I'm beginning to save and don't know what's best for me!
