Rosemary's Baby 0 Posted February 23, 2006 Hi, I am new to this site and find it very insightful. I am wondering if anyone has had difficulty losing weight after the lap band surgery due to hypothyroidism? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daisybelle 0 Posted February 24, 2006 Hi & Welcome. I have had hypothyroidism for over 20 years. I was banded July 27, 05 and I had lost 70 pounds by the end of the year. I am still on my thyroid medication but I don't think the disease itself has affected my weight loss adversely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marebear 0 Posted March 14, 2006 Hi, I have been taking medication for hypothyrodism since I was 16 and now I am 52. I was banded on December 26, 2005 and I have lost 35 pounds since then. You and I have to remember to take our medication every day. Mary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
