Looking Into Lapband

[Melissa14 0]

Hi,

After many disappointing attempts at losing weight I am looking into getting the LapBand. It's not for lack of trying. I have run several 5k's and worked out 6 days a week for a year and even participated in the Mud Run, a 10k obstacle course, last summer. It wasn't until after that that my doctor told me I had hypothyroidism. I thought the medicine would help me lose the weight but I have done some research and found that it has more to do with your metabolism being stuck. I'm not getting any younger (34) and at first I felt LapBand would be a sign of failure but not I see it as more of a tool. It is frustrating when you do work out a lot and the weight doesn't come off. I have my first appt with a surgeon next week. I guess I will make my decision then.
