surgery

CAUTION:
I am super emotional at this moment in time so i start crying in the middle of the video. Please, be kind if you leave comments or messages. This is my first ever surgery and I was super scared about it.

I got a total thyroidectomy done on Monday which means no more thyroid! yaya! But, alas, I've been struggling trying to keep myself composed.

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?

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!

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.

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

@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

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.
