Hi eveyrone. I'm 5 months past banding and down about 68 pounds. I just had all new bloods drawn and suddenly, my thyroid is showing as "overactive". I have a feeling that all that's happened is that the weight loss and activity mean my thyroid works a bit better and I probably just need to lower my prescription for my thyroid meds. When I used to weigh in the 240 as I do now, I took a lower dose, so maybe all this is is my body needing less to keep on an even keel.

Has anyone else experienced this or anyone have any other thoughts?

Thanks

What I would give to hear that my thyroid is overactive. No change in mine since the band. I've never heard of that. Keep us posted on what you find out.

Not yet, but my endocrinologist warned me to expect it. He said that as I lose weight, I will likely need to lower my Synthroid dosage. I get my scripts 3-months worth at a time and he recommended only getting a 30-day supply at a time and watching for signs of too high of a dosage (mainly heart papatations).
