Hi Karen, Congrats on the success of the operation. Before starting a vitamin regimen speak with your doctor. Certain vitamins and minerals can effect the absorption of the thyroid medication which would make you feel worse. You should never take thyroid medicine at the same time as vitamins.

Margaret, What do you take for your adrenal gland after TT. I had mine out on 7/31/08. I feel great. I am on a 100 mcg of Synthroid. I probably will have to go up to 125 mcg as I am forgetting everything and had a slight weight gain. What do you think? Sheri

Hi, Like my friend and doctor told me if you have to have cancer you want thyroid cancer. It has an almost 100% cure rate. You will be fine and life will get back to normal cancer or not.

Hello All, So far my experience has been a good one. I have not gained any weight yet but haven't really lost any yet either. But hey, it will happen if I really put my mind to it. The scar is healing nicely. I was allergic to the glue so the incision blew up to 2x the size and I have a difficult time breathing sometimes from the synthroid but it comes ...
