Sounds good to me i have never been there so i need directions.

I am still following all of my appointments as scheduled and i will know if i can get the band when i go to Dr. Brody on Jan. 20th. I am Keeping my fingers crossed. Well it is almost time for our meeting any ideas as to where we will meet? Karen has been really busy latley so she hasn't been online to research places but she was saying that we could try Towson if you all want. let us know what you want to do.

I have never had it before i have been tested many times and always normal untill now. So that still isn't the reason for the weight gain.

All they did was a blood test. normal level is 0.350 ---5.500 in April mine was 2.889 Yesterday mine is 11.366 if this helps anyone out.

I just found out today that I have Hypothyroidism. I am really scared that I will not be able to get banded. I am researching (and thank you "L" for all your help) LBT for others with Hypothyroidism and there are people who have bands so I am trying to think positive. I just need a little encouragement not to give up on this. I am very emotional right now I was feeling so close and so happy yesterday and now I feel like my goal to be banded is unreachable. It doesn't help that its time for my cycle, that makes me emotional also.

Hello I am not banded yet I have a consult with a surgeon on Jan 20th, and just found out today that I have hypothyroidism. I have been checked in the past but it was always normal. My Dr. is putting me on synthroid, and I have read that sometime you can't get surgery if you have hypothyroidism. What causes you to get HypoT. when you have never had it before, and was it hard to get approved for surgery while having HypoT?

Yay I changed my ticker!!!!!!!

I have a ticker but i don't know how to change it. I have lost 5lb total and 2 since i put on my ticker. I tried to change it Yesterday but got really confused, so i gave up for now till i have more time. I am at 293 now yay

Hello Everyone!!!!!! Today I Got my 6 months Documentation from my Family Practice Dr. She only gave me three months July, October, and December. Do I need every month or is this good? I also made an appointment to see a dietitian on January 02. I did the blood test to check my thyroid today also and got a referral to see a Psych. Dr. So When I see Dr. Brody on January 20, I will be ready. I am so excited!!!!!!
