Thyroid surgery after Lap-Band?

[pooky032281 8]

Has anyone else had a total thyroidectomy since your banding? If so, how are you doing with your weight loss since the surgery? Any input would be helpful! I had my thyroid surgery almost a month ago...and was banded in September.

I had my thyroid removed in Aug of last year. I am just now getting my thyroid replacement meds adjusted. I gained a lot because I went from hyper to hypo. I am on 225mg of Synthroid now and hopefully I've finally hit the right mark!

I had a total thyroidectomy about 4 1/2 years ago and was just banded this past September. My meds have been adjusted ( I stopped losing) and will probably need to be adjusted again.

I am surprised that you had thyroid removed after having lapband. Did you have nodules on your thyroid? Is that why yours was removed? I had nodules on the thyroid, which they could not determine if they were cancerous or not, so that's why mine was removed. I also was hypothyroid.
