hi everyone my neurosurgeon just informed me that i have too bad disks ontop of the 4 i have fised now and if he fuses them the next two may go bad so he opted not too touch me but did make a suggestion too maybe look into lapband surgery so i did some research last week and made my choice too go too the seminar this week aug 5th cause with my bad mack and multiple health issues. sleep apnia, hypothyroidism, high blood pressure my weight (305) and i also have gout so he figures that this surgery may be of great help too my well being im a little nervouse i have read a bunch of the inputs on this site and like what i read im just worried he won't do it cause i have hypo thyroidism will i still loose weight i hope i have a new home here its a pleasure being here

I also have hypothyroidism. As long as it is controlled with medication there shouldn't be a problem. I was banded on June 8th. Good luck on your journey!:thumbdown:
