Just diagnosed

I completed my labwork that my surgeon asked for and was told today by my PCP that I have Hypothyroidism. This is quite a shock to me because my labwork in May did not reflect any issues. Will this condition hinder my chances of being approved for the LapBand? And if not does it count as a co-morbidity that could possible help my chances of getting approved? I'm so overwhelmed by this whole process...and I'm just getting starting!!! Can someone put my mind at ease?

    Yes, hypothyroidism is a co-morbidity.
