They have put me on 75mg levothyroxine feel ok bit sore from op but, reading what some people put On here, I still have a little thyroid on the left had side, they have not said when I should go for check up or blood test, when would I know if the tablets are not right what should I do or am I being silly, like to start cycling in a few weeks would this be good for me as this is my hobby, also I think I could be losing weight as my scales are reading different now

I had a weekly and then 6 weekly follow up with the surgeon- the weekly appointment involved the dressing being removed and blood tests for thyroid profile and calcium. Then the 6 weekly appointment was another blood test for thyroid profile. The gp also did a blood test at around 4 weeks. I would phone your surgeon and find out when the follow up is. I'm not sure about cycling, but after two weeks I was starting to get back into my exercise routine again. Hope that helps.
