Robinswebnest 0 Posted March 28, 2013 3 years ago this month I had the lap band surgery in Mexico. I would like to say I am a success story. But, I am not. I started out with a bang and lost 45 pounds in the first 3 months. Then slowed to 2 a month. Then I started gaining and couldn't figure it out. I started a having sore throat and swelling. This went on for 1 year as I slowly gained back the weight I lost. As I had no insurance, I could not go to the doctors....finally I went to the doctors. Turned out that my thyroid was the problem. I had thyroid cancer. Now, no thyroid and I am fighting to relose the weight that I gained back. I am just 10 pounds down from where I was 3 years ago....

Lose100 178 Posted March 30, 2013 I am glad you went to the doctor to discover what was wrong. Have you discuss this with a bariatric surgeon? Best of luck to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
