Question:
Has anyone had a problem with hyperparathyroidism since surgery?

I recently had a high calcium level and was told that I had mild hyperparathyroidism. I could have surgery to remove my parathyroid, or I could wait. My doctor & I have decided to wait 6 months to see if my corrected calcium level fixes itself.    — Danita S. (posted on April 13, 2008)

I'm preop and have the same issue; we also decided to wait and see what happens because many times surgery isn't necessary. I've known my PCP (who is also my nephrologist) for over 20 years, and trust his judgement. He thought in my case it's OK to see what happens, so that's what I'm doing. I don't think it's related to the surgery you had - maybe just something else that happened to occur.
