Its been 20 years since I had right thyroid lobe removed now having hard time swallowing and appears I have quite a build up of scar tissue that could be the cause, anyone had this experience and how can I get it corrected? Surgeon is no longer active.

I am sorry you are having trouble swallowing and hope a member can help.

I am hypothyroid.

Maybe someone can advise on the surgeon who operated on them.
