Why u did not go for Radio frequency ablation ??????

hi what about your period right after the surgery, mine is late

going for surgery tonight thank you for your videos

Well spoken details. Exactly how I would’ve conveyed the specifics. Very detailed. Some people could build their confidence and wherewithal from this before proceeding into surgery. Very helpful.

Had this surgery around 40 years ago and had a large nodule removed about the size of an egg.I was able to keep my thyroid. Now they have grown back and I'm going to need this surgery again.I was told this could happen.😢

Thanku so much,today 8th day after my surgery.how many days need full recovery?

I really appreciate this video. I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease 2 years ago and it’s uncontrolled so I am scheduled for the total thyroidectomy Feb 2025. Another reason for me to have it done is my recent diagnosis of Thyroid eye disease. I hope all is still well with you and thank you for sharing your story. It really helped calm my nerves. ❤

You concieve naturally?

I'm 70 and had half my thyroid removed 2 months ago. I had nodules and they couldn't determine if they were benign. I was terrified ..but the surgery wasn't half as bad as what I thought. I didn't even need pain relief and was home the next day. I don't need thyroid medication either 😊

Thank you for your advice for my thyroidectomy. I have had successful surgery but now I have alot of scar tissue. I am massaging my incision and I am hopeful that your advice will help. Thank you

Great info. Pleased to hear a successful procedure explained in detail from patients side. Took some nervousness away. As for me, Questionable results from testing. Still diagnosing, wait and see. Much appreciated video.

I have hyperthyrodism too and papitation pla can i use tapazole to reduce the papition

Hello! What do you call that adhesive type of dressing you use on your surgical wound?

Sir one of our realtive has gone through total thyroidectomy as there was suspicious mediluary carcinoma, after surgery there chyle leak of 1200ml from the 21 days straight from surgery, is it concerning and if it is concering how to slow down or stop it...

Everyone is always concerned about weight gain. I hear that people also develop anxiety and depression and some psychosis, cognitive function decreases, psychosis Have you dealt with any of these things? Those are the things I’m more concerned about. 😢

I may or may not need this surgery as my thyroid is getting bigger. Right now it's getting larger on the back of the thyroid so it feels like I have a pill stuck in my throat. It will (if I have to have it) be my third surgery under general anesthesia. Last one was gall bladder removal which was under laparoscopic surgery so it was in and out in about 2 hours with no hospital stay.

No one talks about eating after surgery. The first 3 days what did you eat? How long before you were eating a regular diet?

Thanks for the information and being so positive.

I was scheduled for this surgery and never went back to the hospital because I was scared. this was my only option my doctor was giving me. I fixed my self naturally by eating selenium and L-Caratine & it took a while but I’m glad I found something other than surgery because after this video I’m still scared 😂😂.

I had my thyroid surgery last week. I have felt so awful this week. The tightness in my neck, so exhausted with no energy. Thanks for the tips and I feel like I need to go on a special diet to stop me from gaining weight. I used to be over energetic before the surgery because I had an overactive thyroid. How long did it take for you scar to disappear thanks Julie

I thought you said Happy Hour Toke 😂. Anyway I was told not to touch my incision but that it was okay to shower and if it got wet to pat dry with a clean towel. I have a 3 week follow up next Tuesday.

Hello! Unfortunately, again. I’m rewatching your video because my tumor has returned. I’m doing the work up now but I’ll be going through this again. My entire thyroid was not removed before because my tumor was ectopic and not at all attached to the thyroid. This one is. I just want you to know that you’re still a positive force out here. Thank you for sharing your journey. Be well.

Hi my name is Honey Lyn and I was diagnosed a Hyperthyrodisim - Grave Disease last 2021 after I get birthed with my son and my eyes puffed-out it is both Bulgi and its hard for me because not all people my condition and sometimes there are other peopole think I’m angry or mad due to my bulgi eyes.

My symptoms are: Bulgi Eyes Palpitate Hand and Feet tremaurs High BP High HR I want to live longer but I’m scared to take thyroidectomy 😢 Thanks for creating this kind of video about your journey because it help us a lot 🫶

I just had surgery to remove my thyroid and I can't tell you how important and comforting your videos have been for me. I have watched them several times and the information you provided helped me to prepare for everything that is involved with surgery and recovery! Thank you so, so much!

Congratulations 🎉

Thanks a lot. Did your eyes go back to normal after the surgery. Cuz my eyes are big

I had my partial thyroidectomy done 4 days ago. I have been following your videos since sometime. Very helpful. Thankyou

Thanks so much for posting! Very helpful! I will have my surgery in a few months.

Diagnosed with hashimoto My meds make me sick with horrible headache and low blood sugar i am considering getting this done my inflammation markers are super high

Please let me know why am i not able to speak? There's no bass in my voice

I have Graves, on Methimazole for about a year. Worried about weight gain if I have surgery. Thoughts?

Thank you. Any issues with weight gain?

I am having surgery on Dec 11th. I'm not afraid but relieved in listening to your program, making it easier to maintain my scar, foods that I should be aware of, vitamins and sunscreen as I live in Florida. Should I purchase a C-pillow to take to the hsp with me if I am discharged that day, and sleeping positions. Thank you

I am so scared

Having mine done in 2 weeks time..great information..Thank u for sharing..very helpful.Be blessed🙏

How long before u started using sunscreen ? My doc says to wait until all The glue drops off but that may take a while and I live on the equator and the sun here is no joke

Such a treat seeing the cute baby as you talk about your experience.

I walked to the bathroom right out of post op lol. And walked to my room that I had to stay in overnight! And then I got a cheeseburger and fries 😂😂 i wasn't in any pain except for my throat from the tube but other than that I was watching TV eating all night getting meds talking everyone's ear off and ready to go home!! Everything in the hospital was super easy! However being home was a different story! I'm on day 10 after my thyroidectomy and my neck is still soooo swollen! The first couple days after I got home my entire chest swelled up and i had AN EGG sized ball right below my incision! Scared the hell out of me and thought maybe I needed a drain but the dr said it was fine after sending him pics. It was also very hot to the touch but I used heat instead of ice (ice seemed to hurt it worse) and the swelling went down big time! Sleeping has been crap! Last night (day 9) was the first decent night sleep I've gotten since my surgery. I couldn't lay on my sides it hurt to sit up and just couldn't get comfy in any position to sleep. On a positive note I had such a good dr u literally can't even see my incision anymore its amazing! On a crappy note I'm probably gonna need voice therapy because it really affected my vocal cords:( I know its only been 10 days but my voice is unrecognizable and I have no pitch nothing. And I used to sing and I can't even hum and a correct note so that's scaring me a lot and making me so sad. So I just pray I get my voice back. But I'd rather not have a voice than have cancer so I shouldn't complain!

I would say you have become more beautiful after the surgery... I got my surgery 5 days ago and I have papillary carcinoma for which I will get iodine therapy in december.

The most positive I have come across on this topic, thank you so much, you have no idea how comforting this made me.

I unfortunately have to have this surgery as well soon (going to talk to a surgeon in the next few days). This is honestly the first surgery I will need in my life, and hopefully the only one/last one. These were helpful tips so I know roughly to expect and the notebook idea is a good one (something I would have forgotten and thus would have forogtten things to ask or information they give me). Hoping mine goes well as well and recovery is fast (considering it is the holiday season pretty soon and I'd like to have this done and be mostly recovered by then, but Iguess at the same time, I don't want to rush things as well, but do want to get the surgery at least done as soon as possible as the idea of cancer always scares me, even though they say that PTC is one of the "better" cancers to have if you're going to have cancer since the prognosis is generally good for the majority of cases, but it's still something that can be unsettling for many, especially considering that cancers can come back even if you remove the organ in question.)

Needed this video🥹 Having this surgery in 24 hours and nervous isn’t the word. I’m just praying for the best. Stage 1 papillary thyroid cancer but I trust that The Lord will be with me and see me through it all. 🫂💕💕💯
