hypothyroidism

Is there any of you bandsters that have hypothyroidism? Has this slowed down your weight loss any? Will the band still work for me?

I was diagnosed with Hashimotos thyroid back in 1998,, I was banded in March of 2007,, lost 100lbs. The band will work if you want it to.

I have had hypothyroidism for several years, my levels are constantly off and the weight will come off just fine if your levels are somewhat balanced and you are not eating too much. I think with the condition it is hard because if your levels are off you feel tired and feel as if you need energy and food = energy...right? :)It will work fine many people have severe hypothyroidism and can lose weight.

I have Hypothyroidism and it doesn't impact my weight loss. Cheetos do. But I am slowly but surely getting to goal. You can do it!

Hi Dewrob,

I had Hashimotos for years and did not know it until I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer the end of 2006.

I had to have a thyroidectomy so I will always be hypothyroid. However, weight loss was constant as long as I ate healthily & exercised.

My mom also has Hashimotos and was diagnosed with it in 2006 as well and she was banded April 8th of this year and she has lost roughly 60 pounds total, 50 with the band.

Good luck with your decision, I know for me it was the best thing I have done for myself and I know many others who feel the same way, including my mother.
