Hi all I'm cari I was banded may of this year. I've lost 20lbs but recently found out I have an underactive thyroid so now that I'm taking meds for that I'm hoping my weightloss will kick in. I've been married a year and have a two year old daughter

Well my throats been hurting and I thought it was my pouch. My pcp called with my blood results and said my thyroid was off, so now I'm wondering if my thyroid is enlarged and its not my pouch. Anyone else experience this?

Well I don't get to see my surgeon untill monday but I got a call from my pcp I had routine bloodwork done and it turns out my thyroid is out of wack so I'm thinking it is my thyroid making my throat hurt and not my band -

I've been having a sore throat for the past 2 weeks, could that be the result of something with the band?

4lbs lost this week -
Well you'll have a consult with your surgeon but before I had to attend a seminar. They give you a surgery date and that's what they send to your insurance. And wait and see. Bcbs ususly requires a psych eval. Good luck

Looking for support / feedback to get back on track!
oliviasmommy replied to ReadyInCT's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Well I would recomend keeping a food journal and then rate why you ate. Were you very hungry? Hungry? Or not hungry. I started getting back into my old habits and then I told my self no way. Next day I went back to the gym. -
Hi all well I was under the weather this week but I did 3.5 on cross ramp that's what I call it but don't know the name lol. Hoping for a better week last week. But I'm new to the gym so that's better than no miles
