I recently got a fill and am feeling great! Eating a lot less, making healthy food choices, and moving around a lot more, but not losing any weight. I think my thyroid meds need to be adjusted. Anyone else struggle with thyroid issues and weight-loss?

I have thyroid cancer. I am doing treatment while getting my band but I know how hard it is to lose weight with a messed up thyroid. :-)

I have borderline hypothyroid. No longer on synthroid. No problems.

I've had hypothyroidism for years. I go in every four months for check up and to get my meds adjusted. Had surgery in Dec '12 and have lost 80 lbs. I think if you're properly medicated then you should be able to lose weight. When doing blood work have them checking vitamins too. I know if my Vitamin D gets low that will also zap my energy.

I go in next month to see if I need to get my meds adjusted. It's so discouraging sometimes

It is discouraging. But the band has really helped. Loosing weight gave me energy to exercise which gave me more energy. Everyday is not a great day but I do manage to string together some good ones. Stay with it until you feel better. You'll be glad you did.

I have several disorders that slows me down to the movement of a slug. Diabetes , thyroid , and bipolar rapid cycling, a few of the psychiatric drugs are weight gainers. My antipsychotic is the real bad one that affects my blood sugar thus more insulin thus more fat. Aaarrrggghhh!! I can lose weight but slowly and the band is to help me not to put it back on. I was on about 35 pills a day 5 wks out stepped down to about 20 a day and maybe more once I do start losing. Good luck to all of us piled up with more than just weight .
