I got banded in march of 2014 and have only lost 30 lb, but I have lost a lot of inches. Its now Sept and I feel like I should have lost way more than 30lbs. I have hypothyroid and work a full time job with no time to exercise, when I get off from work I am absolutely wore out I go home and wipe out body and in mind. Honestly I don't feel that the lap band is working. I know they said It would be hard for me to loose weight because of my thyroid but this is ridiculous I have a friend who had the sleeve 2 days after me and she is a bone I know at least a size 6 me a snug 12 I'm very discouraged I need help any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advanced Carmen

No race here it's just she's the only person I know that has had surgery the same time as me just trying to gage what's a normal weight loss I just want it gone gone gone I hate it I hate the way I look I'm scared it want come off I know I have lost some and lost inches but do you know what I see when I look in the mirror a fat girl I have been fat for so long I can't see me as anything else I know my moral is low that's why I've joined Bariatrics pal looking for support

Yes you can I think it is determined by York physician. I talked with my insurance co before I did anything else found out what the requirements were I think I will be alright. I have years and years worth of documents about my health and weight struggles. Looking forward to Monday I meet with my primary physician and attend the seminar about lap band. As for Nicoole the lesson is don't judge people I may not be morbidly obese but obese I am and don't want to be or have more health problems.

Amen sister!!!!! Weight has a lot to do with it but so do health problems when you swell, heartburn, can't walk across floor because your feet are in pain because of the weight.Just because yout don't have a high bmi doesn't mean im not on my way, I have fought my weight for 20 years time for a change .
