al1234 4 Posted July 22, 2015 Well I am ready for removal. I have so many issues I never had prior to the band. Thyroid, sever dry eye, hair shedding extreme!!!!!! It grows but sheds. Its not worth it for me I have always had beautiful hair. I need that more than this non working band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

al1234 4 Posted July 22, 2015 It caused autoimmune disorder plus so much more. I never had this before the band. My hair falls out everyday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daisee68 2,493 Posted July 23, 2015 For what it's worth, I don't think the band caused the autoimmune disorder. It may have made the effects show up more obviously or rapidly, but it wouldn't cause it. Autoimmune is something that lives in your system. It just chooses when to show up - spoken by a Graves Disease (and likely Hashimoto's) patient t whose autoimmune did not show up until mid-40's) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
al1234 4 Posted July 23, 2015 I found the report wrtten by the company and in the boooklet it speaks on side effects from band placement. Thyroid, Alopecia, Asthma, Anemia, and Hernias, the list goes on. This was their study. Of course most doctors never spoke of these findings or side effects. I am sure this band is being rejected by my body and my body"s being attacked by this foreign object. We will see what happens after removal, I would bet everything all of these issues stop.
