Hemithyroidectomy or total thyroidectomy?
I am only being offer a hemi at this point - could the consultant consider a complete
thyroidectomy
if I asked him to, since it looks as if there are "several" nodules and they're only going to grow and develop further? Many thanks for your input!

Computer-Assisted Levothyroxine Dose Selection for the Treatment of Postoperative Hypothyroidism

The Great Thyroid Experiment
I Haven’t been able to lose anymore…I have come to the conclusion that my diet isn’t the huge factor to my
thyroidectomy
weight gain and that definitely other things are in play…. Still Im happy with this small amount. Labs: Jan 2023 “BEFORE” adding the extra meds and diet changes.

Thyroidectomy
Hi I am due to have my thyroid removed as I have a multi nodular goitre. I do not have any issues with my thyroid function so am just wondering whether living with thyroxine is as simple as just taking a tablet , as my surgeon says?

constipation after thyroidectomy
hi all, I haven’t been on in a while but wanted to know if anyone else has had a problem with constipation after total
thyroidectomy
? It’s been over a year since my op and it’s not got any better. I’ve contacted my doctor and they’re going to see me on Tuesday but wanted to see if this is common…

Life following total thyroidectomy - what have you learned?
Last year I had a total
thyroidectomy
and many lymph nodes removed from my neck. In January this year I completed the final stage of radiotherapy and am now trying to piece my life back together.

1st BLOOD RESULT ON NDT
I had a full
thyroidectomy
on 20 December 2022. I tried levothyroxine and was struggling to convert. I went on to NDT 7 weeks ago. I did my blood test this morning fasting and drinking only water at 7.30am, and I withheld the NDT for 24 hours.

Thyroidectomy
Hi there, I would really appreciate some advice from anyone that has had Graves disease/hyperthyroidism and had a total
Thyroidectomy
. I tried RAI back in Sept 2021 but it was unsuccessful and then caused TED.

Horrendous fatigue, even though joints ok
I had a total
thyroidectomy
17 years ago, so more blood tests this week. I am on Methotrexate and have been for about 12 years.

post Papillary Thyroid Cancer
had full
thyroidectomy
and neck dissection in May 2022 which removed 24 lymph nodes and 2 parathyroid glands as well. All good, apparently now cancer free. Was not able to have RAI as had apparently had thyroiditis (picked up when thyroid examined post op).

Very Scared and suffering with Graves Disease - don't know what to do next?
I appreciate nobody can tell me what to do but any wise words/own stories about Graves or experience of RAI/
thyroidectomy
and subsequent hypothyroid disease and Levothyroxine treatment very much appreciated. I have to think of some darn thing to say to endocrinologist before Tuesday.

Blood Test Results 4 Months On
Hi everyone, I posted a few months ago about the results of a thyroid blood test after I had a partial
thyroidectomy
back in July 2022. I’m currently on 25mcg of levothyroxine a day and had another blood test last month. I just wanted to see what your opinions are?

Thyroidectomy
A year ago I had total
thyroidectomy
and I obviously rely on Levothyroxine 125 mcg. Next Monday I'm due to have a gastroscopy and colonoscopy because of my out of range full blood count and blood in my stool.
