Thyroid and Breast implant illness

Hi all-Just went through this "explant" surgery two weeks ago. The surgeons assistant told me many many patients had huge improvements with hypothyroidism. Some said Hashimotos went away, and was proven on their labs. My endo has patients where she's seen this also. Anyone experience this ? Weird but I already do feel better.

Hashimoto's doesn't go away. Hashi's is where the immune system attacks and gradually destroys the thyroid, eventually causing enough damage so the patient becomes hypothyroid. So if you have Hashi's, regardless of lab results showing lower antibodies it doesn't mean the Hashi's has gone away. Antibodies fluctuate all the time and when the lab shows the antibody level lower or higher it's just reflecting the level of antibodies at the time of the test.
