Hemi thyroidectomy imminent!

Thanks Rosie. I’ll pack some PJs just incase. Good luck with the surgery and let us know how you get on x

Thank you ️ x

Likewise ️ hope it all goes okay for you x 

Hi Lydia,

Wow - sounds like you had a rollercoaster ride but so glad you had a positive experience post-surgery. Thank you for sharing your story with me, I really appreciate it ️ 

I hope you continue to feel better, all the best for the future x 

Hi everyone  I had my Hemi on Thursday (30th June) so I’m a few days post op.

I’m feeling well overall… It was really painful to swallow/burp/cough/yawn for a couple of days but today I’ve really noticed a difference, I feel it’s massively improved. The actual area isn’t painful at all, I am on paracetamol and Codeine managing absolutely fine. In myself I am just feeling tired but that was always going to be the case. It’s strange, I wake up in the morning and feel really awake, and by the afternoon I am exhausted, when all I’m doing is watching Netflix!

I was admitted into surgery at 9am and home by 10pm so a long day but luckily no overnight stay which I was so pleased about.
 
Thank you all for your advice; the V shaped pillow has been a life saver and would 1000% recommend to anyone due to have surgery! I got mine from Amazon, I think it was under £10 too. Warm drinks, lots of rest & sleep all needed too. Thank you everyone️
