Thyroid Problem And The Lap Band

I was just wondering if anyone else has thyroid problem. I was told by my doctor that the lapband will still work even though I have thyroid problem. He said I can still lose the weigh. I was banded on the 20th of December and from the time I started my liquid diet to today I only lost 25.5 pounds. My first fill will be 01/20/2012

I have thyroid disease and have had no problems losing the weight. As long as you take your thyroid replacement medicine every day, it shouldn't be a problem. I was banded 10/25/2010 and I am very close to my goal now. I'm not sure what you are expecting, but you need to understand that the band is not like having gastric bypass. The weight will come off slow and sure. You are stressing over nothing. Sit back, relax, and give your body time to adjust. It WILL HAPPEN!!!
