Leslie,
good to hear I am not alone. Honestly, I lost weight better WITH my thyroid in, messed up as it was, but I had to have it out as it was seriously sick and growing daily (right side was out of control - but no cancer). The surgery itself was not too awful, the recovery part was tough and I am 3 months out and finally feeling ok again if I could get my numbers to level out, my TSH just jumped up to 24.9 all of a sudden and we don't know why. Now I am struggling to lose one or two lbs then they creep back on and then I lose and they come back. I refuse to regain the 50 I've lost and worked a whole year for but am struggling big time - my Dr says it will come around?? Who knows. If you don't absolutley HAVE to have it out, I wouldn't do it. Be sure to get a 2nd opinion if you can .... feel free to ask any ??'s though, I will be happy to answer what I can.
Darla
