I do take medicine after my total thyroidectomy. It’s a generic brand of Synthroid called Levothyroxine, merely a replacement. Without it, I’d be a corpse. That goes for anyone who has their thyroid gland removed, they must go on a replacement/ suppliment. Talk with your doctor next time you see him/her. That’s if you’re that interested!

How do you function without your thyroid gland? I mean, do you take medicine or what?

Hi there,
Low TSH actually means that you are HYPERthyroid. That is the opposite of me - my TSH was high. They will need to examine what is causing your TSH to be low. Graves disease (autoimmune) or something else. Depending on how it affects you they may do surgery or radioactive iodine to slow it down. Hyperthyroidism can be dangerous. I hope you get everything taken care of. Sending a prayer!

Hi Mona,
My Thyroidectomy was one of the easiest surgeries I have ever been through. I was eating the first day out of surgery. It was very easy.
I gained weight due to other medications (Lyrica). It took about 6 months to get my TSH under control and steady. I never noticed any mood swings, If you are moody, you can talk to your doctor about that and they can help. No reason to be afraid at all. Just listen to your body and get the appropriate blood tests as needed to balance the TSH.

Hi,
Firstly well done!
This coming Monday Ill have a total thyroidectomy; I cant tell you how scared I am! Ive done plenty of research so I roughly know what to expect.Please could you answer me the some questions?
How did you feel in yourself after the op?
How quickly did you start putting on weight (thats if at all) and is that back under control?
How was eating after the op? How are you towards others now? I heard some people have mood swings and are emotional. Many thanks,
Mona

Hi there hpygal — mine was not endoscopic — it was just a very skilled surgeon. She is known for her small incisions. I have no idea how she got my large thyroid out of that small incision. Amazing!!!!! I’ve not encountered anyone with as small an incision either.
