Hi,

I recently had a total thyroidectomy due to Hyperthyroidism associated with Graves Disease.  I bec to my medicine after 9 years of taking it and my personal preference was to not swallow a radiation pill due to my ownpersonal research andteeing that eye problems seem to develop often after the RAI pill. I am still a little fatigued but all in all feel less anxiety.  I too do not wish to gain weight after this procedure but I know with careful tracking and increased exercise this can be avoided.   gain can only happen with ingesting more calories than what you burn on a daily basis so just be mindful of that

Sorry about the spelling but this site seems to have a mind of its own.
