I had Total Thyroidectomy surgery in 2009 after a Orthopedic Surgeon found 11 malignant tumors, while checking my neck and shoulder. They were diagnosed as Papillary and Follicular carcinoma and surgery scheduled.
I've had to change Endocrinologist three times due to problems with the strength of my Synthroid which is now 200 mcg. My experience is doctors don't listen to their patents...
I have had a major problem with my weight which is now at 230 lbs, I've gained about 40 lbs and haven't found a successful way to drop my weight and keep it off...
I am also tired all the time, moody and keep gaining weight since my cancer surgery.
They say my levels are stable but I am tired all the time moody and keep gaining weight my cancer surgery was 3 years ago at Mayo. If I had not went there I would not be here today.
For me it took eating right, it did take about 3yrs or so to get back to normal weight. It took a year to get my dosage to where it needed to be. I do eat okay now. I eat a lot of protein, but I love meat.
How long has it been since you had the surgery?
