Went to docs today as I needed my thyroid results (it's swinging between under and over but she thinks it will settle as underactive) and she was very negative about getting the band.
She basically said I'd get it done and lose a bit of weight then go back into bad habits. I DO have issues with my relationship with food but I can't see it getting any better without learning how to eat properly from scratch and ridding myself of bad habits. I've had years of diets so her saying 'have one little piece of chocolate once every few days' isn't exactly a viable or realistic option!
Just feel a bit down now - I have my consultation on Thursday so hoping the surgeon can help stop my doubts.
Has anyone else had the same reaction / thyroid issues or put a lot of weight back on after the band?
Thanks guys x
