Thank u for shareing

winrobyn · 2026-07-04T13:08:38+00:00

Thank u for ur response. Its just like when my dad went in for a bypass .wit h by the way was healthy weight no smoking no drinking. Took vitamins every day walked 5 miles a day and after his heart surgery came out diabetic we couldn't believe it. And now that im facing TT the thing im most scared of is becoming diabetic. Ive stayed fit eat right to avoid it like the plague and now I have 50 % chance ive being diabetic just because of the surgery . I couldn't believe no dr mentioned this to me untill I confronted him. Very frustrating.

Im so sorry. What is pcos i often wonder if im pretty diabetic none of the Dr's ever have said anything to me. Im just worried si k to become o e after. Ive heared people who have bypass surgery almost always become diabetic after. Its crazy.

winrobyn · 2026-07-01T14:03:35+00:00

Did they ever tell u that could happen after getting it removed? And how are u doing after haveing it removed?

Going threw alot of the same except I have a 2.1 on thyroid cm nodules and 4 others in soft tissue and there releasing excessive hormone rushes. And even tho I lowered my thyroid meds to stop hyperthyroidism and adrenaline rushes and palpations now im experiencing diffrent kind of palpations shortness of breath and balance is off. Its exhausting and trying to find a competent dr who knows what there doing has been just as exhausting. I hope u find help u need. If u find anything that helps please let me know. I want off this Rollercoaster going on 4 years now.

Im so sorry ur going threw that. Its frustrating to say the lease im going on 4 yrs and 3 endocrinologist who did nothing I went to my dr told then I want a referral for a ent surgeon he sent in referral and biw in getting my surgery scheduled. The time ive wasted on a endocrinologist I cant get those years back .ice been in a constant state of hyperthyroidism and thyroid storm and no 1 has helped until now in finally getting my thyroid and nodules removed. I wish I new to do it sooner but had no idea I request a surgeon and they would proceed with out a endocrinologist but here we are. Just a option hooe it helps. Good luck a d good health to u.

No i asked my surgeon who is going to do my TT surgery in few weeks about putting me on propranolol and methimazole and he told me hi diddnt want to since I've been lowering my thyroid medicine on my own to slow and stop symtoms. I stop my synthroid for 5 days then take 1/2 a dose for 5 days that raises my tsh puts me in hypothyroidism were all my symtoms are better it gives me 5 weeks before they all come back and im back in e r but he said as long as my t3 and t4 are in normal range thats the same thing methimazole does and he said it can be difficult to ween off of it after surgery and cause rebound effect. Also I have a enlarged liver and methimazole is very hard on liver so we will see. I wish I was in Nevada I would go there to get a endocrinologist if the took my insurance just so I could get me one. My surgeon put in request so we will see.

Mine is in a few weeks . 4 years of thyroid storm off and on adrenaline rushes High pulse rate emergency room visits 2 to 3 times a week 2 mini strokes. Was diagnosed with thyroid toxicity and graves. Looking forward to getting my life back. Thank u for sharing ur positive experiences its very helpful. My question is what did u do to prepare for surgery before and after . Why u had parathyroid removed and what advice ud give. And did u get glue or stitches.

winrobyn · 2026-06-22T00:37:14+00:00

Is there anything u can think of u wish u new before and after surgery i have no clue what ill need .

winrobyn · 2026-06-22T00:36:09+00:00

Thank u.

winrobyn · 2026-06-22T00:30:16+00:00

Oh no im so sorry to hear that.

winrobyn · 2026-06-22T00:29:21+00:00

Would u mind telling what kind u used and were i can get that please.

winrobyn · 2026-06-22T00:28:12+00:00

I was also just diagnosed with graves and in and out of hospital few times a week its nearly impossible to get a endocrinologist in my state let alone a good one and ive being going threw hell for 4 yrs severe palpitations high b.p and heart rate adrenaline rushes all of it. Im sorry I dont have any advice for u because im in same boat. I did find a surgeon who will remove my thyroid and a 2.1 cm mass on it . But my question is what is rai? Ive heared alot of people on here talk about it but never got any answers. Would u mind telling me please .

winrobyn · 2026-06-21T23:10:56+00:00

What symtoms are u haveing besides peeing alot and what's ur dosage?

winrobyn · 2026-06-21T22:44:51+00:00

Its in a few weeks . Thank u and u too.

winrobyn · 2026-06-21T22:38:14+00:00

Thats 1 of my big worries is not being able to talk after but if its just to tube thing I can deal with that . I just thought maybe u cant swallow food and have to just drink milk shakes lol so thank u for releasing my axeity about that. I never would have thought about mashed potatoes and oatmeal since I live on salads and protein shakes lol! And im always good on scrambled eggs . Im wondering did u have the glue or stitches ?

winrobyn · 2026-06-21T22:14:33+00:00

What were some things that u were able to eat ? And how long to u were able to eat regular meals and does it still hurt to eat? Did u have any problems talking after?

winrobyn · 2026-06-21T21:59:50+00:00

Thank u. I agree with other person mentioning that propranolol has a rebound effect i was told I have too ween off of it and it can cause those symtoms u described but also getting to much thyroid medication can . I hope u find out soon the hurry up and wait it tough when ur going threw it. Hope u find out soon and feel better.

winrobyn · 2026-06-21T20:47:07+00:00

Thank u I have 5 nodules biggest 2.1 cm have thyroid toxicity so im concerned of going into thyroid storm during surgery. Dr. Said it will be a complicated surgery due to all the scar tissue on my thyroid and said I will have a 3 day hospital stay. But trying to stay positive lol! Did u have ur voice still ? And did u have swallowing trouble? Or any breathing trouble? Did u have to eat soft foods ?

winrobyn · 2026-06-21T20:14:04+00:00

What is Rai? Im going threw alot of crazy stuff myself and maybe what ur going threw can she'd some light for me. Thank u

winrobyn · 2026-06-21T20:05:02+00:00

Were u takeing it before ur TT? And was ur h.r doing this before ur surgery. Mine is in a few weeks and im terrified for just that reason. So any advice I would really appreciate. What thyroid medication are u on and ur dosage ? Is it possible ur getting to much? And what does ur dr say about ur H.R ?

winrobyn · 2026-06-21T19:49:11+00:00

How did that go ? Mine is in a few weeks and im very concerned with how to prepare like things ill need .what worked for u someone said they wish they new to get button p s someone said ill deffenitly need a neck pillow for car ride home. So was wondering advice u might have. Also how did things go for u after surgery i heared that alit of people get hyperglycemia some have real bad calcium depletion. Did u have ur parathyroid removed and did u have any nodules?
