Hello. I post every so often but haven't in a while. Some of you may remember I just had a total thyroidectomy on June 30. The very next day my surgeon put me on .125 synthroid. Fortunately I am recovering quite well from surgery and so far feel pretty much like myself. I recently got my bloodwork back for my thyroid levels and everything seems to be good. Prior to surgery my tsh was 1.60 and now it is 1.40, which is fine and I feel fine. However, my free t4 before surgery was .8 and now it's 1.4 (in range is .8-1.8, so before surgery at the lowest and now going toward the high end). So my long convuluted question is this, do you think my meds will need to be adjusted because of the change in my free t4 levels? My appointment with the endo is in early September and will be faxing my reports to the endo this week. Just curious.

That is a good question.
