Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Hiya, Just wanted to let you know that I have an underactive thyroid and just had surgery 1 week ago. I take 2 different thyroid medications. I don't believe the thyroid deficiency will get better with the surgery, I'll still have to take the medications, however it's going to improve my general health. Blessings!
