Hashimotos/Underactive Thyroid Started by: Katherine Smith

I have a severely underactice thyroid so would like to know about this too. I’ve tried searching the forum and I can’t see anything from the few other girls who’ve posted about this. I doubt there will be anything else to know tbh, for me it’ll probably take slightly longer to heal maybe x

Hi girls. I have an underactive thyroid and had my surgery Feb 13th.

Pre op – they will want to test your blood to make sure your thyroid is stable, mine was slightly out (first time in 9 years would you believe it) and so they needed confirmation that it has been stable for a long time prior to this and confirmation that your gp isn’t changing your meds. (I think if they do change your meds like the dosage if it’s way out you may have to postpone surgery so if you have not booked your op go get your thyroid checked before hand if I had it would have saved a lot of stress)

Post op – I’ve had no problems I am coming up to 4 weeks post op and have healed fine and normally. I’ve continued to take my thyroxine normally and have also been taking vitamin B-complex as they say vit B works hand in hand with your thyroid. I wouldn’t reccomend taking these before hand though just in case.

Any questions feel free to contact me girls. Good luck on your journeys x

I’d probably just go to the doctors and ask for you bloods to be done again when you’ve been for your pre op with the nurse they’ll be able to tell them how stable your bloods have been etc x

Ok lovely thanks 🙂 x

Thanks ladies. You will be ok!! Promise. Just be good and keep on top of your meds and you will be fine :):) we deal with this every day anyway 😉 xxxx

Hi Katherine, thanks for your reply, pretty gutted but I guess it cant be helped 🙁 Up until now I have been impressed with MYA, but I have spent all day yesterday and this morning still trying to speak to someone with regards to my options etc. I am at my wits end now and contemplating cancelling all together! I have not heard of this I will look into this now thanks hun! x will keep you updated xx

Hello girls,
Ive booked my operation on May fir breast enhancement but because I have Hashimoto my surgeon wants to check the blood levels of TSH. The thing that worries me is the TSH which is a bit out of norm as it should be up to 5 but mine is 6.8. Im not taking any medicine as I feel well without any symptomes. However, do u think that would be a problem for this intervation.
Thanks in advance xx
