Hi all I'm cari I was banded may of this year. I've lost 20lbs but recently found out I have an underactive thyroid so now that I'm taking meds for that I'm hoping my weightloss will kick in. I've been married a year and have a two year old daughter

Well I don't get to see my surgeon untill monday but I got a call from my pcp I had routine bloodwork done and it turns out my thyroid is out of wack so I'm thinking it is my thyroid making my throat hurt and not my band

Well my throats been hurting and I thought it was my pouch. My pcp called with my blood results and said my thyroid was off, so now I'm wondering if my thyroid is enlarged and its not my pouch. Anyone else experience this?

I have heart burn so they think its stretched

I called the docs and they think my pouch is stretched. I don't get it though, I've followed the rules

I've been having a sore throat for the past 2 weeks, could that be the result of something with the band?

Good luck. 500 is good

im also a college student and full time mom and work full time lol

4lbs lost this week

Well you'll have a consult with your surgeon but before I had to attend a seminar. They give you a surgery date and that's what they send to your insurance. And wait and see. Bcbs ususly requires a psych eval. Good luck

Lab band is less invasive.

First week at the gym and I've lost 4lbs! Before I was losing 1lb a month now I really feel motivated

Well I would recomend keeping a food journal and then rate why you ate. Were you very hungry? Hungry? Or not hungry. I started getting back into my old habits and then I told my self no way. Next day I went back to the gym.

Hi all well I was under the weather this week but I did 3.5 on cross ramp that's what I call it but don't know the name lol. Hoping for a better week last week. But I'm new to the gym so that's better than no miles

I'm doing ok. Better with my second fill and I started going to the gym so hopefully ill start losing more I was banded 5/19/2009 and lost 15lbs. Yeah feel free to email me cmorden06@gmail.com
