I have had a totally different experience with my thyroid surgery. I had very little pain and major exhaustion for the first 6 weeks. I’m two months post op and the energy levels are much better. My voice still sounds very hoarse. I noticed that your voice didn’t seem to be affected by your surgery. Glad you are doing well.

[@melodyebrown3804]

I cannot tell you how helpful your series of videos are to me. My enlarged thyroid was discovered accidentally in tests following a fall. The news that my thryroid had to be removed came as a surprise and I failed to ask all my questions when I had the surgeon's time. All the little details you include and the day by day post op has given me a better idea of what to expect, and lots of tips on how to prepare. Thank you so much for sharing. Your information was well organized and well presented. All the best to you with your new baby!

Had 2 biopsies on 6/22/23. Yesterday 6/29/23 I was told the results were cancer. I’m here looking to educate and prepare myself for what’s to come. We do (as humans) draw strength from each other. So I’ll take yours and run with it 😊 Update: 11/22/2023 Had my RAi I-131 on November 2nd. It’s tough. 2 weeks prior to it, I had to be on a low iodine diet. Essentially no milk products, no chocolate, no bread, no sea food of any kind (including sea items). The whole body scan was good. Only a trace amount out thyroid tissue was identified right on the bed of my scar. Dr says in 6 months (when I have my 2nd scan it should be completely gone. Strange enough is that on day 2 I started having episodes where I literally glow all over my face and ears. Happened yesterday at my dr office too. The nurse got spooked. They don’t know why. I’m seeing the nuclear medicine doctor next week. I hope he DOES know why. I get red and hot in the face in a weird way. My suggestion to anyone doing RAi……be patient and be prepared. Comfy clothes and pillows. A LOT of hydration.

Thank you for your video, my girlfriend is having this op very soon and is scared. What is the scare like now if you don’t mind me Asking ?

Hello Alan! The scar is practically gone, in fact I personally can't see it at all when looking in the mirror from a few feet away. Make sure she uses sunscreen on it especially the first year!! Good luck to your girlfriend!

Sounds interesting, I’m having surgery in 2 days total tryrodectomy with 3 nodules. I’m kind of confused if I should subscribe to this channel so I won’t have to on hormones meds for the rest of my life, if anyone can reply back and guide me I will really appreciate it 🙏🏻

Am cured from hypothyroidism with the help of herbal remedies,from dr iyaremoses on KZbin channel ☺️.

My understanding is that you will be on thyroid hormones for life, since your body needs the hormones your thyroid used to make.
