March 31, 2012 surf88 Men's 60 731 posts	Thyroid Surgery I am having my thyroid taken out this week. Anyone out there had this surgery and have any wisdom to share? The doc says I'll be good to go in 2 weeks then will have to get the daily adjusted dosage of what I need after the thyroid is gone. Appreciate quality input. Thanks, Ed

Integrated Ear, Nose and Throat. I went into surgery at 4PM Tuesday, a 3 hour procedure. Wednesday at 10AM drove home 6 hours to T'ride, CO. Should be able to play ball in 2 weeks he says. Thyroid was 4 times normal size. Had a sore throat but feeling good today. Thanks for input guys. Ed Andrews
