weight loss assistance from doctor

I am 29 years old and this past year have gone through thyroid cancer and a total thyroidectomy. I am currently on synthroid and my TSH levels are good, but despite diet and exercise I can not lose weight. I am 5'2" and 190 lbs. I am so depressed. I am not normally this big. I gained weight with both my pregnancies, but the thyroid has put me over the edge. I made an appointment with my doctor for Friday. Are there any meds or anything else he can do to help me? Any suggestions of what to ask for?

Please help!

Hi, I went to a weight loss clinic in Hickory, NC. today. I seen a poster of Thyroid problems in the exam room. I don't have a thyroid problem but, I think this Doctor might be able to help. I started on Hcg injections today. 50u twice a week along with Adipex 37.5mg once daily. I have heard great results from the nurses that work there that have been on this.

If anyone else has info. they would like to share it would be great.
