You'd have to check with your ophthamalogist regarding lasik, since you have Graves Disease, unless you've had a thyroidectomy; then I wouldn't think it would make much difference, unless you have TED.
What are your actual thyroid hormone levels? You should be getting tested periodically for Free T3, Free T4 and TSH... Please post your most current levels with reference ranges, since ranges vary lab to lab and have to come from your own reports...
Are you taking any anti-thyroid med? If so, what med and what dosage?
Yes, I discussed this with my eye doc. He contacted the surgeon and that office stated that the FDA wouldn't approve surgery on patients with autoimmune disorders.
My last labs were a year ago. I'm not taking any medication (prescription) and have not had any permanent treatments, nor doninhave TED.
Well, the FDA doesn't approve of each individual surgery... apparently, FDA says it's not good for anyone with an autoimmune disease to have lasik, so it's not FDA approved, in which case the surgeon simply won't do it...
You might find a surgeon who will do it, even though it isn't FDA approved, but I doubt it, because that opens them up to all kinds of lawsuits, etc. I'll have to do some research on that...
Some people who are hyper do gain weight, but if you haven't had labs for a year, I'd strongly suggest that you have new labs done. You should get Free T3, Free T4 and TSH... Your Graves could have gone into remission and you could be hypo - a lot of the symptoms cross over and weight gain is a hypo symptom.
