New to Board and need some advice
| Tue, 08-31-2004 - 11:02pm |
I am new to this board. I am 20 years old and am going for a surgery consultation on Friday to have my thyroid removed. I have hyper and a goiter. The goiter is causing me to have a lot of trouble breathing. I have to work at breathing sometimes. I am nervous and a little scared. I am active duty in the military and I have certain weight standards to meet. Will this surgery affect my weight considerably? I have also heard that it could be difficult to become pregnant. While I am not looking to become pregnant, I want to be totally informed by others who have gone through this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
