surgery

[taylor00miokovic]

Im 15 yrs old I just had a total thyroidectemy 5 weeks ago this wednesday, Mine was a size of a softball and a orange, it was so big it was squeezing my air wy together and also had 15 cyst and a cluster of nogels, they took it out bc one reason they didnt know if it was cancer of not, lucky it wasnt, i rlly dont like the scar left over, but yet to meet some one with the same problems i do, so its cool to tell a story that no one else rlly can, the after surgery pain sucked:(hopeyourdoing better

I have a total thyroidectomy coming up due to Graves Disease; What do I have to expect?

[1170bt]

Im having surgery for a total thyroidectomy b/c of Graves Disease. What do I have to expect?

[asus3571]

@1170bt just being honest but get a second opinion there are other treatments like radiation but thats still bad though search around for hospitals even in other states will cost a hell of lot more but the long term investment will pay back ten fold dont believe the first thing u hear research reasearch reasearch most importantly kepp yourself with a happy mind

[DJRenee]

[scouseland1]

@DJRenee really!! i hope it all goes well for you

[carmenz71]

loved ur video, i have my surgery done on monday june 6 2011. and i feel great

[avrilfan159874]

i have to have my surgery tomorrow. i just want to ask how long did it take for your throat to not be sore?

[nowbroadcasting]

I want to commend you on your very open, honest and sharing nature. I had two of those surgeries. I wish they'd have taken the full T the first time, but they took the side with the biggest tumor and tested. The surgery screwed with my emotions, ability to reason and I was unpleasant.

I wanted to cry (a lot) but I'm not as brave as you.

Thank you so much for sharing this with youtube.

Anyone interested in the post-op period of a T surgery should watch and listen to Jenella. She's wonderful.

[jillianedw]

Thanks for the video! I've having either subtotal or total next wednesday (Dec 29th) going in under the hopes it will just be subtotal to take out the left side as I have a large goiter. Watching all the videos o you tube have helped a lot!

[Melza1979]

Wow you are brave...I have graves disease and on my second relapse with test results being pretty bad. I would say I will need surgery. Thank you for this video giving me insight into the process. Are you hypo now? How do you feel after Surgery.

Thyroid issues are pretty lonely as no one really understands but just to let you know you are not alone on this issue.

[6katchitchat]

Baby, you video was very moving. I understand your tears. I had my thyroid taken out and I was shopping 4 days later. It has now been a week, and still can't talk. I don't care because I am going to live. I didn't have a tube in me, and second day I ate Chinese:)) No worries girl. How are you doing??

[jillianedw]

I am meeting with surgeon next month to have my the left half of my thyroid removed as I have a very large goiter. I've never had surgery- so I'm scared of being put under anasesia more than anything, I just hate feeling drugged and think I would panic as the drugs take effect... Im also no so keen on the waking up and feeling like I can't breathe... (I have panic attacks from being hyperthyroid) If you have any thoughts for me that would be great! I'll feel a lot better after seeing my Drs too!

[coolbonzo12345]

did you have your whole thyroid taken out?

[princess82944]

i hope you are great now.the pain you are in is hard to see i dont know you but feel your pain.god bless you your strong..i wish i could give you a hug...

[hopefulinhotsprings]

God bless u. I know that overwhelming feeling. The emotions are just too much sometimes. I will be having this surgery soon.  I went to the dr. last week and he got the ultrasound readout and went to his room saying "i have to do surgery" that scared me. Hopefully it's not cancerous.

thanks for sharing.

[snowandlady]

I am going to have this surgery in 2 weeks, I am soooo scared, I might cancel!! Not sure if this vid helped or not! Thanks for sharing!!

[heatherboo74]

im going in on the 4th to get my thyroid taken out, Its going to be ok, I so understand, I have Myasthenia Gravis and with this surgery im considered a high risk so I so understand what your going through write me any time

[lisagordon81]

I really felt for you, I feel the same and am only young also. I was ill for a few months until the doctors decided to test me for thyroid, now am on medication and due radio treatment, I really don't want to get the operation and I am nervous. Thank you so much for posting this, it has helped me understand a lot. I hope you are all better now xxx

[anaivette64]

feel better, I just had my second surgery, and in 21 days I will get radio active treatment.

[1913DIVA]

Thank you for being so real and exposing your experience at your most vulnerable state. I too am having this surgery in two weeks and am so worried. You have helped me a great deal.

[heatherboo74]

I moght have this take out because I have a disordeer called Myasthenia Gravis, plus I also have a nodual on my thyroid that is growing rappidly, thank you for this video, How long did you have to stay in the hospitalwhen you had this done?

[jenella123]

I only stayed one night. My surgery was super early in the morning and i was released the next morning. :) No worries dear, everything will be fine!

[ROFLgurl]

[TheMonaeva]

Hi,

Firstly well done!

This coming Monday Ill have a total thyroidectomy; I cant tell you how scared I am! Ive done plenty of research so I roughly know what to expect.Please could you answer me the some questions?

How did you feel in yourself after the op?

How quickly did you start putting on weight (thats if at all) and is that back under control?

How was eating after the op? How are you towards others now? I heard some people have mood swings and are emotional. Many thanks,

Mona

[hannahandanna96]

hugs!!!! i really wanna give you a big hug you almost made me cry!

[wunderbarmom]

(((((hugs))))) aww I just want to hug you. My sister in law is going to have this surgery this month and she means the world to me, I hope itgoes well for her. she has been sick so long. thanks for making this video and glad you are feeling so much better!!!

[jengo823]

I am going to be having my second thryoid surgery which this time they will be removing everything..:( I am so scared more nervous lets say. Let me ask you how come you went home with that tube thing I didn't have that with my first surgery. I am very happy to see everything went great ;) take care god bless

[BNNYWVH1]

Make sure you have you have repented of your sins. If you don't you will die and go the lake of hell fire and burn forever and ever. Feel better. Call upon the LORD KING JESUS CHRIST .

[mezzer99]

Glad you're doing well. I have my 1 year follow full body scan this month. If that comes up clean its annual checkups from there and should be all clear. High 90s percentil recovery is a good thing!

[generosityofheart]

are you doing better now? you sound wonderful!

and, the video is helpful---it is helpful seeing other emotional people dealing with hormonal issues! we are not crazy---we are hormonal!!! GD, here........take care and God bless!

[pansipotter]

Had my op in April-was very emotional too after mine! Your scar is way smaller but at least I didn't have to sort out my own drain tube!

Hope u r still doing well

[matchygreenville]

8 years has passed since my total thyroidectomy.  i was diagnosed back then with papillary carcinoma. I hope you're doing fine.:)

[jenella123]

oh yeah! i'm doing great! The only place that causes me a little pain is the scar where the tube was inserted. that's a little annoying! Other then that, all gravy.

[brigght2]

Thhank You so much for this video. I am meeting with a surgeon in 2 weeks to hve surgery done. And You really helped me to calm down! This was such a great video.
