Re: Has anyone had Parathyroid Surgery?

‎03-01-2022 06:56 PM

I helped a niece with this.

 

Quick in and out in the morning and snored on the sofa the all afternoon while the kids played.

 

She never needed anything else.  Drove pretty soon.

 

All the best for you, not a bad one to fret about.

Hi. I had this surgery.  Didn't need Tylenol or pain meds afterwards.  I had one parathyroid gland removed.   Surgery took about an hour and a half.

I had this surgery several years ago on the left side.  Spent two days in hospital.   Everything went fine ...

Don't 🐔 chicken out! I had this surgery about 10 years ago. I too was scared & nervous but had the very best surgeon. Explained every detail to DH & me. The surgery was short & I stayed overnight in the hospital because my blood glucose levels were low, diabetic issue. But went home & rested. Driving after a few days. Most important my blood calcium levels have been perfect ever since!

I wish you the best & let us know how you are doing. It will go just fine. P.S. Barely any scar. Incision made in a "wrinkle" on my neck ... LOL he had lots of those to choose from!!
