I have hypothyroidism and take Levothyroxine. I had surgery 6 weeks ago and have lost 12 lbs since surgery (and 30 lbs total, including weight lost on the pre-op liquid diet).

Yes, I have Hypothyroidism, and I take Levothroxin daily. I had lap band surgery in March of this year and I've lost 40 pounds already.
