so my Dr has changed my surgery date to the 30th due to my blood work showing a problem with my thyroid :-/ my pcp needs to see me & now I'm worried cuz that could be why i have had weight problems the last few yrs.... does anyone else have thyroid issues?

You bet alot of woman do, but with meds can be taken care of easily and nothing with the band effects it, or at least for me..

I have been on pills for and underactive thyroid for 20 years. When you get the right dosage to keep your thyroid levels normal then you shouldnt have any problem losing weight.

I was banded on Oct. 19th and have lost 9 lbs since my surgery.

thank u for your responses.... i never had a problem before & honestly didn't know anything about thyroid issues.... I'm more at ease now.... just can't wait to see my pcp so that i can start my journey :-)
