Maryland Lap Band Support Group

I just found out today that I have Hypothyroidism. I am really scared that I will not be able to get banded. I am researching (and thank you "L" for all your help) LBT for others with Hypothyroidism and there are people who have bands so I am trying to think positive. I just need a little encouragement not to give up on this. I am very emotional right now I was feeling so close and so happy yesterday and now I feel like my goal to be banded is unreachable. It doesn't help that its time for my cycle, that makes me emotional also.

Hi Connie I am sorry to hear about the emotional rollercoaster. It is good that they found out you have it becuase that can account for some weight gain. I'm sure they will give you meds to balanace out the hormone levels for the thyroid and then band you to help you loose even more weight. This is a good thing. I wish I did have a reason that I have gotten so big, other then me not closing my mouth.

Has big sis gotten her thyroid checked, is it a hereditary thing?

I did see the Vinesqueen has thyroid issues. Maybe she help with some of your questions.

I have never had it before i have been tested many times and always normal untill now. So that still isn't the reason for the weight gain.
