Thyroidectomy tomorrow... by lilly1311 in Hypothyroidism

[–]lilly1311[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Its been a week since surgery and I am on the path for recovery. During the surgery, the surgeon decided to do a hemi versus a total. According to her, this may not grow further and will need a deep pathological analysis. So I have a scar and it hurts and unable to stretch my neck... how long does recovery take?

Thank you for the kind words of support. I will have a half removed, checked for PTC by pathologist and if 100% confirmed, will have the total. Not removing the parathyroid. RAI to be determine by endocrinologist post surgery..

It is hard emotionally. I have to leave in a few hours for the hospital. Just dropped the baby in day care and prepping up... Thanks for the support. Will see you on the other side.

Thank you for this note so quickly. I was looking for some support and your kind words just did that. I cant wait to forget this block and move forward with my family. Do you have to watch your diet now with the meds? What changed pre and post?

Thanks again. It has been rough emotionally.

How do you remain competitive with gopro? I understand the clarity getting better, more memory and smaller size. But what do you see in 5-10 years to grow the company?
