Avatar n tn If you are thinking of liposuction, this surgery is not designed for weight loss, but rather body contouring. If you are thinking of gastric bypass surgery, then you should consult with a bariatric surgeon. The cheapest, least risky, and healthiest technique for weight loss is to take in less calories than you expend, i.e. proper diet and exercise. Fad diets do not work - ask any registered nutritionist. If you need help, then organizations like Weight Watchers are a good place to start.
Avatar n tn Yes, that is the correct test results. (TSH - 0.004; Thyroxine (T4) - 10.8; T3 Uptake - 28; Free Thyroxine ndex - 3.0) I will ask him about doing a FT-4 test. I thought most people that were hyper would see weight loss instead of weight gain??
Avatar f tn Her symptoms have been racing heart, hand sweats, light-headedness, fatigue, weight loss, intermittent vomiting and nausea,and abdominal pain at times. She had a full CBC in late November which showed a TSH of 0.113. Her symptoms remained, and now her full thryoid bloods are as follows: T3- 473, TSH- 0.011, Total T4->15.0. She is only 19 years old and scheduled for an RAIU and ultrasound. My Dr. is baffled by the vomiting and nausea. Any thoughts/suggestions?
2015036 tn?1332997788 re so blasted expensive, that I can only afford to replace it once- so when??? My weight loss has slowed down to about 1 to 1 1/2lbs a week. I have no idea how long this phase will last, but in the meantime- I'm in danger of injuring myself in a leg brace that's too big! Has anyone else had to have a brace altered more than once? Can I pad it? It's starting to cause pain in my ankle, and hip areas. I can barely keep the darn thing on my leg at all.
Avatar m tn fast weight loss is most of the time lost water and muscles. Fat takes ages to go away. Third: Think of a diet as something permanent. Crash diets just help you gain weight faster once they are over. So, pick some simple rules of a balanced and healthy diet, and follow them. Don't sweat it if you crave for something "bad", to a balanced diet belongs the bad side, too. If you give in now to a small piece of chocolate, it is much better than to eat two whole packages later.
Avatar f tn Yes please talk to your dr, there are many things that could cause rapid or excessive weight loss and some of them can be serious. In addition to Thyroid and GI testing maybe ask about diabetes. It seems odd, but it can cause weight loss.
Avatar f tn I promise you your completely fine. I'm 19 weeks haven't gained any weight. Lost weight and the baby is perfect. It didn't matter how tall or how much you weight as long as baby measures up during ultrasound it's perfectly fine.
Avatar f tn More can be lost through water weight with diuretics and crash dieting can also increase fat loss but only for a short time. When we lose fat too fast our metabolism will slow in order to conserve fat (fuel) deposits (starvation mode) and that creates new problems such a resetting the metabolic rate and fat gains during the plateau, etc.
10299247 tn?1409208876 I am 19 weeks and have lost 23 lbs. I to was about 185 when I got pregnant and was considered over weight. My Dr isn't concerned at all about weight loss and I have been terribly sick the whole pregnancy too. Dr just tells me to eat what I can and what will stay down. Also to drink lots of water. Right now baby girl is measuring a head of schedule so as long as she's fine I'm fine. If your dr isn't concerned I wouldn't be either.
10025015 tn?1422498264 Why is my doctor so worried about me losing weight instead of gaining it? Before pregnancy i was 210, and today at my 12 week appointment i dropped to 198. I'm actually happy about the loss but i know i'm supposed to gain weight instead but it's just being sick & being nauseaded!
Avatar f tn I'm 10 weeks and down about 7 pounds. The doctor isn't concerned.
10822330 tn?1413073760 If you have a normal BMI, the weight loss you're reporting corresponds to people fasting on water only, i.e. getting no food whatsoever. As others said, this is a serious matter and you should discuss it with your Dr asap.
Avatar n tn I doubt that any doctor would support a weight loss goal of 25 lbs. per month unless you would be morbidly obese. Most of the weight you would lose would be water weight anyway, and it would come back quickly. I recently consulted with a weight loss doctor who prescribed a sensible diet (moderately low carb) and the medication Adipex. That combination was magic for me. The diet resulted in rapid weight loss, and the prescribed medication made it easier for me to follow the diet.
