Thyroid issues
Christy,
My thyroid levels are perfect at almost 5 years post-op but I am developing a very large goiter. My internist is sending me to an endocrinologist to be evaluated for massive thyroid therapy (it seems that giving large doses of thyroid will stop the production of thyroid in the body and hopefully, stop the goiter from growing).
My doctor doesn't think the goiter is associated with the weight loss surgery or the weight loss.
