Thyroid Issues & Lapband

[lmgarza 33]

Has anyone ever had Thyroid issues and ha the hardest time loosing weight, and then gets the Lapband....did you actually lose weight.

Im getting Lapband next week and hope this will help me in loosing weight. I have had my Thyroid removed and cannot lose weight. It took the Dr. 2 yrs to regulate my levels. Before, it was removed I lost 70 lbs on my own.

Hi there I had my thyroid gland remove in 2008 and I was 16 stone before had it removed and then I put on 8 stone in 10 months then got referred for surgery and then as soon as got a date found out I have type 1 diabetes, so had to weight till it was under control so then went back in to see doctor and I was going to have bypass but would not do it so they said band would be better had band fitted dec 2012, had 3 fills I'm up to 7 1/2 mls in 14 ml band and still not restriction, and really upsets me cause I don't think it going to work. Day of surgery I was 20.7 and now 17.10.
