Hi, Is there anyone out there who is hypothyroid and has had successful weight loss with the band?

I'm at the start of my journey I go to my first info meeting on 12/11

rikye1, As I read over your last post I thought to myself " hey I blame those same things on my thyroid" I'm going to get me some b-12 and iron and hope i makes me feel better. thanks for the info

Awesome results TQUAD64 ! Congrats on your weight loss

I just learned how to use the quick reply (hee hee hee) I'm at the start of my journey. I go to my first info meeting on 12/11 and i'm very excited. I fought this decision for years but now that i'm in the 300 lb+ range it's time to make some serious life changing decisions. Let me just tell you I am scarde out of my mind, but as I watch shows like the 700 lb man and other eating disorders shows I'm happy that I have decided to do this. I have recently done alot of research on hypothyroidism and found a great site by Mary Shomon called Thyroid Disease Information - Hypothyroidism - Hyperthyroidism - Thyroid Cancer - Autoimmune Disease - Hashimoto's - Graves' - Goiter - Nodules I have learned alot. But it seems that the info came too little too late. I'm ready to make this change for me.

I am also hypothyroid and I'm wondering if the weightloss is slower because of the thyroid.

thank you so much for replying rikye1. I'm going to my first info meeting on 12/11 and that question was the deciding factor on if I was going to have the surgery or not. What concerns me is I'm not as big as I am because I over eat so how would having the lap band help me.? Is your weight loss typical? and are you on synthroid?

I have been reading the jax posts for over a month, and I joined the site yesterday. I'm going to my info meeting on 12/11 and I'm wondering is the jax folks have their own social group? Also if there is anyone out there who is hypothyroid I would love to hear from you.

Hi, I'm at the start of my journey I go to my first intro meeting at the jax weight loss center on 12/11. I believe my insurance won't cover the surgery (bcbs fl employee)so I'm expecting a very long uphill journey to lose weight. I am also hypothryoid and I'm wondering if they surgery will actually help me.

Hi I live in jax and I just joined the site today. I've been peeking at this site for over a month, just reading on what jax folks have to say. But now that i've joined I can't find the jax folks anymore to join their forum. Any ideas ?
