The endocrinologist suggested that I have the whole thing removed after seeing the ultrasound herself. I am very nervous. I am only reading horror stories. I just googled positive stories and yours came up.I am a school nurse and worried about the recovery. I am hoping to bounce back soon.

I'm am having the surgery because of compression symptoms, including a clicking or grinding in my throat when I swallow. It's really difficult to find positive stories. I'm already struggling with my weight. The thought of hair loss, depression and more weight gain have me reconsidering the TT.

There are so many horrible ones on the internet, ones that have made me sob because they are so terrifying. I too will choose to be a positive example after my recovery, assuming everything will go as planned. It's hard not to be afraid, but I know this is happening to me for a reason.

I had a hemi-T three days ago for a suspicious nodule. Except for needing a nap each afternoon, this has been a fairly easy procedure. I don't have the pathology report yet, nor do I know if I'll need medication, but so far all of my fears about the operation were unfounded. My advice to readers is to seek out the positive and talk to actual people in person who've had TTs or partials. People who had negative experiences tend to post on the internet more.
