I decided to persue the lapband procedure after hitting 304 pounds. I have struggled with weight for the last 20 years and decided enough was enough. I couldn't do it on my own. Funny tho, in all the visits to the dr's and lab tests, my thyroid function was checked and sure enough...its broken. I have been on medication since early August and in 5 weeks have lost 24 pounds all on my own.  I had no problem at all with getting insurance approval, no waiting period or history required. I am on Day 4 of a liquid diet. Nothing but 4-5 protein shakes a day and sugar-free liquids. Day 2 was horrible, I was so hungry that I was sick and dizzy all day. Today, its 2pm and I've had one shake and 1 cup of chicken broth and I had to force that day. Maybe its anorexia hitting lol. I just don't want anything. But, I've also noticed that since starting the liquid diet, the weight loss has stopped.
