I had my lap band placed on November 13. I've lost around 25 lbs, but have stalled there for about two weeks. I was getting very discouraged. I had an apt with my family doctor scheduled for yesterday and she always checks my thyroid as I've taken synthroid for several years. My tsh was 8.64, which is way too high and definitely hinders weight loss. She adjusted my medication, so hoping that will help. I have an apt for 2nd fill in February.

@@Wvcari sounds like your doing the right things and taking care of business!

And pat yourself on the back for the 25 down while you're at it! Don't worry too much about the number as it will all happen in time. Often when the scale isn't moving that's when I notice I really need the next size down in my jeans. Way to go, however, working with your medical professionals and getting all that sorted -- everything lined up for success! Best wishes to you; you're doing great.

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement!! It definitely helps just to vent frustrations on here, where everyone has 'been there' in some way or another.
