Hi :smile2:

I'm scheduled for surgery in January and I'm just curious how those with hypo-thyroidism are making out with their lap-band...?

I know how slowly I lose weight NOW with it - (I also have type II Diabetes controlled by metformin).

I'd love to hear from all of you that have this thyroid disorder to see how you're making out or how you've made out...

Thanks

renee

Hi,

I am getting banded on Nov. 15th. I have Hypothyroid problems and am very hopeful this will help me lose this weight. I have tried for 5 years without surgery and have had no luck. I will keep you posted as my journey starts soon.:smile2:

Hello there, welcome and congratulations to taking your first step to the new you. I have Hoshimotos which is one of the most common reasons for hypothyroidism. Though I was just banded on November 2, 2010, I am feeling great. With the pre and post diet I have lost a total of 20lbs already.

My Endocronologist did tell me that because of the thyroid my weight loss might be slower then others and have a tendancy to plateau at times. Those were all mights and to just stay focused. I also have PCOS (Poly cystic ovaries) all things that contribute to weight gain and difficulty in weight loss. This was my last hope and my doctors both Dr. Gedeon who did the surgery, my Endo Dr. Luthra and my OBGYN doctor (they keep changing doctors on me) all suggested that this was my best option. They are all very positive and tell me before I know it, there will be a new me looking at me in the mirror. I don't believe three independent opinions would lie. I am so excited for me and for you!

I am hypothyroid and have PCOS, and though I was prepared for very slow weight loss or not losing as much as I wanted, I am thrilled with my results. From the time I hit my sweet spot until I reached goal, I never hit a plateau; I lost more some weeks than others, but I always lost!

I had throid cancer and so have no thyroid at all now. I use synthroid everyday. My loss has been great, 86 pounds in about 9 months. I am still losing at about a pound a week. I have not found that the thyroid problem has slowed my down at all. However you must exercise.

When I'm focusing, I lose between 7-10 pounds a month. There have been some months when I've lost 4 pounds and some months when I've lost almost 20. I am really not compliant when it comes to taking pills, but I recently started taking my synthroid again. Not sure if its helping or not, but I hope it is. I also exercise a lot. But I haven't really felt the effects of my hypothyroidism in my weightloss and I'm happy with the way its going.

I too have hypothyroidism. I've had it for 15 years now. I'm losing great. So far I haven't noticed that it's slowing me down at all.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
