28yo Mom of Almost 4yo Small Boobies. Morgantown, WV

His picture looks like he just graduated, how many years has he been in practice?

The plastic surgeon down below I mean? can't believe he would operate even after your doctor screened and said no.

I have had second and 3rd opinions on my thyroid from actual endocrinologist they wanted to do the iodine treatment which i refused at the time because we were planning to have another child but i cant have anymore children. My TSH is always super low but according to endocrinologist my Ts3-Ts4 one or the other is low amd another os normal or borderline its literally been over 4 years of labwork and specialst with no avail. My PCP says they are almost dangerously low i think Fridays TSH was .23? They told me numerous numbers so i forget what it actually was but it drops every time i have it taken again. I haave spent alot of money seeing specialist and doctors and now that i finally booked surgery its huge concern. And i need to rewrite my review on the PS giving me the go ahead i have been speaking with hos personal assistant who stated pre op bloodwork didnt test for TSH and it wouldnt be a problem or my PS would have stated it as a problem and would keep my scheduled surgery.. its a huge mess. He has been doing plastic surgery for 10years now and 7 of which are in my hometown. I did full checkup on him he is safe and a great plastic surgeon. I did my homework thoroughly. Haha. I am going to reschedule my surgery but am hoping i get my thyroid under control soon. So frustrating :-( to say the least

Can you do the iodine test now? What does your dr say when he says your levels are dangerously low, is it followed up with a solution. It's like telling someone you have cancer, I'm sorry for you, see you next time. Not that I am comparing cancer to thyroid, but what is their treatment plan then. Even as a nurse, we are trained to assess, diagnose, then treat, it's incomplete otherwise, what's the point of them diagnosing you? Have you asked them can they give you thyroid medication to increase your levels? Sorry I feel so off topic here because I know this is a breast forum, just don't want you to have a bad outcome :(

Oh no thank you for talking and response. I have been over everything with them over and over and want to start medication but my primary care provider cant give medication for low thyroid i have to be referred to endocrinologist AGAIN and it literally goes nowhere. The iodine treatment is dangerous and comes with many risks not to mention the unbearable amount of pain it is to have it literally burn my thyroid away. I have always been super low TSH but in eyes of endocrinologist my T3-T4 isnt to point i need to do medication for rest of my life. Im so frustrated with entire situation because i have EVERY symptom that comes with ow thyroid and have been suffering with them for over 4 years. I will get answers this time. I always figured if it was that bad the doctor would surely help e and send me into right direction to stabilizing it and now it has to be or i cant do breast augmentation. Where i live a trained monkey gives more answers than the doctors give. I have had cervical cancer twice and have been through alot the past 4 years this breast augmentation means alot to me. Seems im running in circles with these doctors. It sucks.

Oh my! I feel bad mentioning the cancer comparison earlier, I am so sorry! You had cervical cancer twice, did they check for metastasis, I learned that the cervical area is so vascular that it causes metastasis quickly. I keep digging a hole for myself, I shouldn't say that either :( they can't control your pain with the iodine treatment? My niece was on thyroid pills since preschool and I don't believe they were even dangerously low. I really hate to say this, but have they checked for thyroid cancer or breast cancer, you are going to hate me! I am just speaking as an oncology nurse, I used to work with children and cancer, so I should just stop here. These are not the kinds of things you want to hear, I want you to have big beautiful boobies too, I know how you feel, I just measured myself the other day, I am 32AA, I know I was that small. But I would just keep going to doctors and ask for medication, you are so young, you can't live like this.

It seems there may be a connection to cervical cancer 4 years ago and your thyroid symptoms worsening in the last 4 years, did they do a hysterectomy? I remember now you said you can't have more children.

I am so sad : ( yes I totally agree you deserve these big boobies and pretty bras and lingerie. When they do a hysterectomy, it's like going into menopause because all the hormones that go with libido and other hormones are majorly affected, women usually go on hormone therapy after menopause because of this, I am so sorry for this at such a young age. I just don't understand why they won't give you thyroid medication so you can go on with your life? hypothyroid can affect emotions and energy level too, I hope you don't have to deal with these symptoms too?

I am not going to mention names, but there is someone on here who had thyroid cancer, dealt with it and now has some of the most sought after boobs on realself. It's not silly of you to think there is a future beyond this, you just need to be very proactive and get the right help.

Yes i have for years and they connected it with all my hormones imbalance from cervical changes and crap its been my thyroid i have insomnia at night but so tired all day i have been having fainting spells also thyroid i always have sore muscles i literally feel like i 50 not like i just turned 28. It has been miserable i go tomorrow for full panel and im going to speak with them fully tomorrow and have them fax my Mother in law my results she works for a doctor who specializes in this area.

Gosh! I wish I could give you a big hug, that's so much sh*t to deal with. I really hope you get some real answers and SOLUTIONS! I have insomnia too, my doctor gave me clonazapam for it but I already have a tolerance to it after 3 months, since high school I can never fall asleep, and now after having kids I not only take forever to fall asleep but also keep waking up all night for no reason, it seems all medication out there is like this, it works for a while then wears off, I was in tears the first week I took it and fell soundly asleep right away, slept all night and for once woke up refreshed and full of energy, it was like something I never experienced before, I couldn't believe how I lived all those years without proper sleep, and everyday feeling like I am dragging my feet like a zombie getting nothing done (this is with working out 5 days or more a week, did nothing for my energy level) I have even had my thyroid and iron levels checked because of this, I can't understand why it's so hard to just go to sleep. And with 2 active little boys, as you can understand, it's difficult to keep up and not get frustrated with them, even though it's really my problem, not theirs. My immunologist that sees my whole family for various issues, told me sleep disorders play a HUGE role in your immune system and day to day health, it's so underrated, nobody thinks about it, but if you don't sleep your body can't heal itself is basically what he told me. Anyways please let me know how it goes, if it's any consulation to you, it may feel like you are fifty but you definitely do not look that way, and when you get your big boobs you will be a knockout!

Me too, it's been 2 weeks, I hope everything is okay?

Have literally had bloodwork done 4 tomes in 3 weeks my t3 and t4 levels are ok but my tsh is very low .23-.26 so they still wont sign off on surgery and my pre op is supposed to be October 26th :-( called them again today and the doctor said she would call me back to discuss options im so tired of back and fourth with them. Still NO answers but my body is definitely not healthy enough for surgery so im going to reschedule for hopefully January. Fingers crossed :-/

I'm sorry to hear that your tsh is so low. It really stinks to have to reschedule your BA to January, but it is the best thing to do for your health. Are the endocrinologists still taking a wait and see approach to your low tsh? I would want explicit information. Like: "What are you waiting for? Why are you waiting? How long do I have to wait to treat w/ medication if my body is not self-correcting? Do you realize how sick, tired, and weak I feel? Do realize I am this sick and am the primary caregiver to a beautiful, very active, and tireless little boy who needs a healthy Momma to take care of him? I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. Etc.". You probably are already doing this, lol. Please just think of my ranting as moral support. If they are not specific enough in their answers, I think I would call every couple days and repeat. Become the squeaky wheel so to speak. You may need to bypass the PS' secretary and speak or email the PS directly about your health issues. It is definitely early enough to reschedule without penalty, and they should be able to schedule someone else in your place. I think the secretary is giving you the runaround. People reschedule all the time. Thank you for updating, Alyssa. I, too, wish I could give you a hug. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I'll keep watching for updates, too. xoxo

Hi Alyssa, glad to hear from you! You say your t3 and t4 levels are OKAY, do you know what they are? As I understood it from nursing school, t4 and 3 have an inverse relationship to tsh, meaning TSH thyroid STIMULATING hormone has a negative feedback mechanism, if the brain senses low t4,3, the tsh pumps out stimulating hormones to bring the t3,4 level up, making the tsh level high. When someone has too much t3,4 (hyperthyroidism ), the tsh is low. If your t3 and t4 are in their normal range, as you indicated I would expect the tsh is not a matter of concern. What is important is whether your t3 and t4 levels are normal and supply the needed energy for your body to thrive, the tsh is just the back up guy. So if your tsh level is low, your t4 and t3 are either high or normal. Have they done a cardiac stress test, what is your normal heart rate may I ask? BTW there are many drugs out there to correct thyroid levels, have they offered that? I am not sure what insurance you have, but if you can I would seek out the opinion of at least 2 or 3 other endocrinologists for a SOLUTION. I hate to say this, my husband is a doctor, but not all doctors know what they're talking about, their knowledge is outdated because they graduated 30 years ago and are not up to date, and some simply don't care at the end of the day (as long as they are still getting paid out by your insurance, maybe a solution doesn't really matter to them). Like 4theloveoftatas mentioned, you have an active little boy ( I have 2 right now, so I can attest to this) you have to keep up with him to support him, I feel like you are being robbed of experience. I am definitely not an expert on hormones and thyroid, but I think you should see someone else, why do they need blood work 4 times?

Also would like to add, I would personally take that as a red flag that the plastic surgeon's office is unresponsive : /
