How to Lose Weight After a Thyroidectomy
Overview
A throidectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of all or a portion of the thyroid gland.

You should speak to your doctor if you wish to lose weight following a thyroidectomy.

L-Thyroxine or levothyroxine is a synthetic form of a hormone made in the body by the thyroid gland. Hypothyroidism, meaning an underactive thyroid gland, is common.

Periodic testing is also necessary while the pet is taking L-Thyroxine.
It generally takes several weeks of therapy to see an effect. In almost all cases, the pet will need to be on a... read more ››
