  1. Happy 52nd Birthday irishlady9!

  2. Happy 51st Birthday irishlady9!

  3. I'm a little nervous about my thyroid going on the fritz after surgery....I finally have had 18 months of a stable TSH and Free T4 tests so I haven't had to change my meds. My doctor warned me that after 6 weeks he will need to check my thyroid again. I also talked to my best friend (She owns a hair salon) and she said that if you don't get enough protein post-op then 4 to 6 months later is when I would seriously notice hair falling out if it was from that instead of my thyroid. SO I've come to the conclusion that if/when my hair falls out, I'm just going to buzz it off. I could pull of that look, no problem. Kind of like GI Jane ha ha. Good job on the 50 lbs. I hope I do that well so soon :)

  4. How you doing? I had surgery 08/12/10. My thyroid was messed up for a while and I thought my hair was falling out from the surgery. So, don't wait if your hair is falling out. I finally got in medicine in January. I just finally hit 50 pounds. I think it set me back about 5 months. Good luck!!!

  5. Having surgery with Dr. O'Brien in Sioux Falls on August 12. I am new to this site. Are there any support groups in Sioux Falls? Anyone want to add me to their friends list? I am very nervous. Never had surgery before except to have my wisdom teeth out and it was a disaster!!! Colleen S.
